The incense of agarwood was burning in the room, and the green smoke was wafting from the ding, and the hazy smoke was full of wisps of fragrance, almost even the blurred light and shadow wanted to be intoxicated.
Although Wan'er's coquettish voice was not loud, it made several people present hear it clearly. The soft and delicate voice echoed in the hall, like a fairy voice, and there was a sense of confidence in it. After Wan'er said this, she stood up, walked closely, and bowed to Gu Xiangyingying, her head was slightly lowered, her long eyelashes were lowered, and her eyes were free and coquettish; The corners of the jade man's lips were slightly raised, but they were half-delicate and half-smiling.
Gu Xiang was slightly stunned, looking at the beauty of the jade man, he was also in a trance for a while, and after a while, he stroked the teapot, his cloudy eyes showed a fine light, and said with deep meaning: "Little girl, what does it mean by your actions?"
Wan'er still maintained a respectful posture, pursed her lips and chuckled, and said lightly: "Gu Xiang, since you are Brother Feng's elder, then even if you are my elder, isn't it right for the junior to give such a big gift to the elder?"
"Oh, hehe......" Gu Xiang was stunned for a moment, but he smiled dumbly, and sighed: "It's the old man who is stubborn, and now it's the world of you young people." Wan'er, to be honest, your talent is outstanding, and you are almost invincible among your peers, maybe only your Brother Feng, Sister Mingyue, and the Holy Gate Military Master can beat you, so you said that I deliberately lost to you just now, which is taken for granted. Even though the old man's experience is higher than yours, you know how to judge the situation, so it is my feeling to admit defeat like that. However, you guessed a little wrong. After saying that, Gu Xiang looked happy and looked at the woman with a slight frown with interest.
Wan'er was extremely smart, and in a moment, she caught the difference in Gu Xiang's words, and she had replaced Miss Nangong with Wan'er, which still seemed to be intimate. It can be seen that Gu Xiang has clearly accepted the younger generation. A happy smile appeared on Wan'erqiao's face, but after a while, she calmed down slightly, and after thinking a little, she asked in a low voice, "...... Gu Xiang"
Just shouted "Gu Xiang", Wan'er was interrupted by Gu Xiang's voice, he waved his hand slightly, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Why do you still call the old man Caijia, so angry?"
As soon as the old man said this, the housekeeper of the Gu family on the side stared slightly, looking at the beautiful and dusty woman, groaning slightly, there was a trace of understanding in his heart, and there was a trace of kindness in his eyes when he looked at Wan'er. Mo Ye and the others also understood, and they were all a little relieved, because when Gu Xiang said this, he affirmed Wan'er's status and identity, and regarded this woman as a family. Thinking of this, several people looked at each other, all of them were a little excited, for for them, the saddest thing was the opposition between the two families, and now, this hidden worry can finally be eliminated.
"Ah, this ......" Wan'er Mei stared slightly, a little stunned, and for a while, she didn't react.
Gu Xiang looked at the stunned woman, smiled in his heart, and shouted softly: "The little girl should call me 'Gu Lao,'" When the words fell, Wan'er's cheeks turned crimson, but there was a hint of joy in her slightly rolled eyes, and she said shyly in a low voice: "Old ...... Gu"
"Good...... Okay" Gu Xiang was relieved, stretched out his hand and beckoned Wan'er, and when Wan'er moved in front of him, he stroked Wan'er's forehead and sighed lightly, "Wan'er, you have amazing wisdom, extraordinary posture, and understanding, which is very much in line with my wishes." The grandson of an old friend is so blessed, to be able to marry such a daughter-in-law, if it weren't for your already married, the old man would definitely let you marry my Gu family and be my unsuccessful grandson as a daughter-in-law, it's just a pity...... It's a pity ......"
Wan'er's gooseneck was red, and she lowered her eyebrows and said, "Old Gu, you make fun of other people's ......"
Seeing that he was so cute, Gu Xiang waved his hand and chuckled: "Good, good, good...... Don't say it, don't say it. After a while, Gu Xiang patted Wan'er's lotus arm and said softly, "Girl, do you remember what I just said?"
"Remember, Wan'er can't think of anything wrong, could you please ask Gu Lao to solve her doubts?" Wan'er frowned, stared at Gu Xiang, and asked in a low voice.
Gu Xiang groaned slightly, squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was reminiscing, and after a while, he sighed lightly: "Little girl, I didn't come to see you by the way." I have heard of the marriage contract between the Ye family and the Nangong family, as you said, I came to see the old man, but I also came to see you, to observe the future head mother of the Ye family......? You didn't disappoint me either, you were strong, talented, and calm, and you confronted me without falling behind. The Ye family is still a small family, and when Ye Feng returns, his energy will inevitably be used on Ye Meng, and the Ye family needs to rely on you even more. However, such a Ye family is very reassuring. ”
Wan'er listened to Gu Xiang's praise and was a little pleased. On the other hand, he is extremely shy, after all, it is a blessing to be recognized by an elder, and he still has a considerable say in the Ye family, and what is even more commendable is that this is the prime minister of the dynasty, showing Wan'er's extraordinary.
After a while, Wan'er eased her mind slightly, a cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she lifted herself slightly, recovering her solemnity, and said in a deep voice: "I know that Elder Gu came here for the Holy Gate, since our two families are quite related, then let's discuss it openly." To be honest, I don't think I'm optimistic, if I, Ye Meng, have been fighting alone, I won't be able to retreat from the January festival. Although Ye Meng's strength is not weak, there is still a big gap between it and the Holy Gate, after all, the Holy Gate has been in business for decades, and our Ye Meng has only been in business for a month. Moreover, at this time, there was the matter of the Oriental family, which made us a little anxious for a while, and the preparations were very hasty. ”
A wise look flashed between Gu Xiang's eyebrows, his eyes still stayed on Wan'er, and he continued to bow slightly with Wan'er's explanation, and said in a condensed voice: "This is also what I think, the Holy Gate has a strong foundation, if the imperial court or the rivers and lakes are fighting alone, it is difficult to pose a threat to the Holy Gate, this is also my purpose, if the two join forces, there is still some chance of winning." If you want to defeat the Holy Gate and crush its plot, the only way to do this is to work together to defeat the enemy. ”
Wan'er's face was a little pale, but her expression was still a little dignified, and she said in a deep voice: "What Elder Gu said is extremely true, but I have a question, since the purpose of the two families is to fight against the Holy Gate together, how to divide these interests, and who obeys whom?"
Gu Xiang knew that Wan'er would have this question sooner or later, so his face remained unchanged, stared at the solemn Wan'er, and said in a condensed voice: "The purpose of my coming is to cooperate, if Wan'er doesn't dislike it, then the court will fully obey you."
