At the banquet in the evening, Gu Jiu changed into festive clothes and came to the flower hall.
At the banquet, Gu Jiu finally met the owner of the big house, as well as his famous grandfather.
The eldest uncle is a general with a strong temperament.
The elder brothers of Dafang are also tall and big.
As for Dafang's younger brothers, they were all childish.
Gu Jiu stepped forward, "I have seen Uncle, please greet Uncle."
Master Gu Gu Zhiming nodded, "It's Xiao Jiu, she's grown so big."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled.
Mr. Gu shouted: "Come here, please greet the old man."
The children of the second room filed forward.
Everyone said in unison: "Greetings to grandfather."
Mr. Gu has a gray beard and a debauched appearance, which gives people a feeling of being old and disrespectful.
His eyes are blurred, and he can only see clearly when he squints
"Are these the children of the second child's family? Yes, yes, they have grown up so much. Is the marriage of the children settled?"
Master Gu bowed beside him and said, "Reporting to father, the children's marriage is not in a hurry, and my son is going to see each other slowly."
Mr. Gu shook his head from side to side, "Young lady is getting older, how can I not be in a hurry. I remember that the eldest girl is already old.
She's so old, and she hasn't talked about her husband's family yet, so she might be an old girl. That's not good.
Second child, if you can't find a suitable family to send your daughter, I'll find a way for you.
With so many rich and noble families in the capital, it won't take long for the children's marriages to be settled after a little effort. "
Gu Zhen stood beside Gu Jiu, her face turned pale.
My grandfather said she was an old girl, and Gu Zhen almost burst into tears.
Endure it, it's hard to hold back.
Seeing this, Mr. Gu first clicked his tongue twice, "Big girl, why are you crying when you see this old man? Could it be that what this old man said is wrong?"
Gu Zhen shook her head again and again, biting her lips, feeling so wronged that she couldn't speak.
Master Gu glanced at Gu Zhen, and then said to Mr. Gu, "Father, I have my own ideas about the children's marriage, so I don't need you to worry about it."
Mr. Gu snorted coldly, "Second, you have been away for more than ten years. After finally returning to the capital, you just picked your nose and eyes without saying a few words to this old man. Why, do you have a problem with this old man? "
Master Gu said with a blank expression, "My son dare not."
He said he didn't dare, but Mr. Gu's expression was very serious, and his tone was also indifferent.
That way, it is clearly saying that he is dissatisfied.
Snapped!
Mr. Gu slapped the table with a slap, "Gu Zhili, your attitude is unfilial, do you know that? If I report this to the imperial court, your life will be over."
Master Gu was so angry that his face turned blue and he clenched his fists.
After ten or twenty years as an official, he was not defeated by his colleagues or political opponents, but he was driven mad by his own father.
Seeing that the father and son were going to have a big battle, Xie was very scared, but also inexplicably excited.
The old man is disrespectful to the old, and when the second room comes back, they are all kinds of picky. I have never seen such an old man.
The old people in other families always think about their children.
The old man in the family, hehe, it's not bad if he doesn't hold back. Now, even wanting to cut off the master's official career, it is really frustrating.
I really want the old man to kill the old man's prestige.
Eldest Master Gu Zhiming stepped forward in time, "Master, the second younger brother just arrived home today, why can't you calm down? Do you have to make everyone unhappy?"
Mr. Gu snorted, his beard trembled, "I am your father, I can teach you a few words, can't I?"
Elder Master Gu Zhiming frowned, and said bluntly: "Father threatened the second younger brother to sue before the imperial court and cut off the second younger brother's career. Is this what a father should do? What good does it do father if the second brother's career is cut off? ?”
Mr. Gu suddenly laughed, "I am happy."
It's completely unreasonable and disrespectful. Mr. Gu is the typical kind of bastard when he was young, and a bastard when he is old.
Mr. Gu was almost pissed off by Mr. Gu.
Just to be happy, he will go to the imperial court to sue and ruin his official career.
How could he have such a stingy old man.
I am afraid that I will lose ten years of life.
Master Gu, Gu Zhiming, obviously has rich experience in dealing with Mr. Gu.
He said with a straight face: "If the father continues to talk nonsense, the son will go to the Hou's mansion now and invite the uncle to talk to his father."
Mr. Gu immediately hesitated.
The uncle Gu Zhiming was referring to was the old man of the next door Hou's mansion, Pingnanhou.
Ping Nanhou is the elder brother of Mr. Gu.
Nowadays, only Marquis Pingnan can control Mr. Gu a little bit.
It's just that they don't live under the same roof after all, and it's impossible for Marquis Ping Nan to stare at Mr. Gu every day.
In short, Mr. Gu is more ridiculous than he is clear-headed.
Seeing the fierce look of the elder son, Mr. Gu still felt a little guilty.
He said to Mr. Gu: "Okay, okay, I'm just joking with the second child. Who knows he can't even make a joke."
Mr. Gu was filled with anxiety, "Father, please don't make fun of your son's official career in the future."
It is absolutely impossible for the son to sue the father.
If the father sues the son, it is absolutely true.
So when Mr. Gu talked about going to the imperial court to sue and ruin Mr. Gu's official career, Mr. Gu was really afraid and hated.
Mr. Gu knows about Mr. Gu's temper. An idiot who can do anything.
Mrs. Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the matter was fortunately resolved.
The children of the second room were all eye-opening.
He never expected that his grandfather would be such a bastard.
Of course, you can only think about this in your heart, and you must never say it out of your mouth. That is unfilial.
Mr. Gu stopped discussing the marriage of his grandchildren, and he focused on Gu Ting who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Gu Ting's legs can't walk yet, and he can't bear the strength.
Gu Jiu told him to do a little exercise, he could walk around while leaning on the wall. But usually when you go out, don't walk.
Old Master Gu stared at Gu Ting and asked, "Sanlang, how did your leg hurt?"
Gu Ting bowed slightly, and said, "Report to grandfather, it was a fall from a horse."
When Mr. Gu heard this, he burst out laughing, pointed at Gu Ting, and said, "You are really stupid. You can fall off a horse. Second child, look at your good son, who can't even ride a horse." Well, it's just a piece of trash."
Gu Ting's face turned dark, he was born as a grandson, and he couldn't refute it.
He gripped the arm of the chair tightly. If it weren't for the old man in front of him, who was his own grandfather, he really had the urge to rush up and beat someone.
The corner of Xie's mouth curled up, in a good mood.
Although she also hated Mr. Gu, she was still very happy to see Gu Ting being scolded by Mr. Gu.
The old man is right, Gu Ting is a waste. If you can't study well, you can't do things well.
Such a Gu Teng, how can she compete with her precious son Gu Teng.
Mr. Gu looked at Mr. Gu very worriedly.
The old man called Gu Ting a waste, isn't he also indirectly calling him a waste as an old man.
Master Gu said: "Father, I don't need to worry about Saburo. You should indulge in sex with your concubine."
Mr. Gu is very sure that he would rather Mr. Gu sneak into his concubine's room every day, drinking and going crazy, and he is not willing to sit at the same table with Mr. Gu for dinner.
He could imagine that the next banquet would definitely be even more frustrating.
He might really be pissed off.
It is a great misfortune in life to have such a father.
What's more unfortunate is that the old lady passed away, and no one in the family can really control this ridiculous old man.
Seeing the stalemate in the atmosphere, Mr. Gu simply said: "The second brother's family is finally back, let the kitchen serve the food and prepare the drinks."
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, nodded her head and ordered the servant girl to pass the message to the kitchen.
Soon, the food was on the table.
The elder greeted Mr. Gu to the table for a drink.
There are two tables.
A table for men and a table for women.
Gu Jiu sat on the chair, with Gu Zhen sitting on the left hand and Gu Yue sitting on the right hand.
Gu Zhen muttered in a low voice, "The old man is really..." Disrespecting the old man made people angry.
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "Big sister drinks tea."
She picked up the teacup and blocked Gu Zhen's mouth.
Don't even look at what occasion it is, dare to say anything.
Do you really think the sound is low enough that no one else can hear it
Gu Zhen is also really big-hearted.
Gu Zhen was forced to drink a cup of tea, and her mood became more and more depressed.
On the first day back to Beijing, this kind of thing happened, and no one could be happy.
Gu Yue looked at Gu Zhen with a half-smile, as if she was watching Gu Zhen's joke.
Gu Zhen noticed Gu Yue and snorted coldly.
Gu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Gu Jiu: "Second Sister, you have to take good care of Eldest Sister. Don't let her embarrass herself again."
Gu Zhen's face turned green. When Gu Yue said these words, she didn't avoid her.
Chi Guoguo's ridicule and ridicule made Gu Zhen extremely unhappy. She gave Gu Yue a hard look.
Instead, Gu Yue laughed more happily.
How could she be so happy seeing Gu Zhen being deflated and being called an old girl by the old man.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and stared at Gu Yue, "Is the third sister happy when the eldest sister makes an embarrassment?"
Gu Yue smiled softly, "Second sister misunderstood, how could I be that kind of person."
Gu Jiu snorted, "It's also from the Gu family, I don't know, but if the big sister loses face, you look good? Why don't you lose face along with me?"
Gu Yue's face froze, and she smiled again in a blink of an eye: "I just said this casually, why should Second Sister take it seriously. Really, I can't even take a joke. Second Sister, you are so boring."
Gu Jiu secretly rolled his eyes, "I don't need to please you, why should it be interesting."
Gu Yue was deflated again.
That's right, Gu Jiu doesn't need to please her, and of course he doesn't need to show a funny side in front of her.
Gu Yue stared at Gu Jiu, "Second Sister, does it mean that you can do whatever you want with the support of your eldest aunt?"
Gu Jiu laughed mockingly, "The one who does whatever he wants is you, the third sister. Don't forget, I almost died at your hands, you are a murderer."
"you… "
Gu Yue felt resentful.
This matter is Gu Yue's stain.
Because of this incident, her father punished her to think behind closed doors and copy the family rules.
I thought everything was over.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jiu brought up this matter again today.
"I can see that the second sister deliberately has trouble with me."
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Third Younger Sister knows everything, why doesn't she know herself?"
Gu Yue gritted her teeth, good Gu Jiu, you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth.
Gu Shan secretly pulled Gu Yue's clothes and told her to stop talking.
Sixth sister Gu Jun noticed the movement here.
If these things spread to Dafang, there might be another disturbance.
Gu Yue was furious and pointed the cannon fire at Gu Shan.
At this time, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhang sat down, and Gu Yue had to shut up, unable to vent her sulking.
Gu Zhen secretly said to Gu Jiu: "Thank you, Second Sister. You helped me, and I appreciate your kindness."
Gu Jiu said with a smile, "Big sister, you're welcome."
This banquet was exhausted and exhausted.
Gu Jiu casually ate a few mouthfuls of a table of exquisite food without tasting the taste.
Returning to the capital from Erfang, it is doomed that this meal will not be peaceful.
At the next table, Mr. Gu drank three glasses of wine, and became rowdy again.
The elder had no choice but to persuade him repeatedly.
The female relatives here.
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhang were obviously at odds with each other.
Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "brothers and sisters eat fish! I still remember that when you were pregnant and it was winter, you insisted on eating fish.
Brother and sister Su are virtuous, and specially ordered someone to go to the countryside to buy fish and bring them back.
Ah, by the way, at that time, brother and sister, you were still living in the Acacia Academy. Now the Acacia House has changed owners, and Aunt Bai lives there.
Speaking of which, the siblings and Aunt Bai really have many similarities. Hahaha, if I said a few words casually, my siblings wouldn't be angry. "
Mrs. Xie was not only angry, but even wanted to break Mrs. Zhang's heart.
Mrs. Zhang deliberately brought up the events of that year, what is the meaning
Pulling Aunt Bai out to talk about the matter is to remind her not to forget her status as a concubine back then
Hmph, Mrs. Xie put down the wine glass.
She is no longer the concubine of the past, she is now the head wife of the second bedroom.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Xie smiled, "I didn't expect such a long time ago, my sister-in-law still remembers. At that time, I was pregnant with Liu Lang, and others said that my child was a girl, but I wanted to give birth to a son."
Haha, in the end he was born, he was indeed a son, and he was good at studying and stable, even my master praised him.
But speaking of it, my sister-in-law's memory is really good. I almost forgot about such a long time ago, but my sister-in-law still remembers it clearly.
Ah, I see, my sister-in-law always remembers what happened back then, just to remind me not to forget my original intention. It's a pity that my sister-in-law was disappointed.
I am now the head wife of the second room, on an equal footing with my sister-in-law. Even if sister-in-law is not happy, there is nothing you can do. You have to bear with me too. "
In the last sentence, Xie deliberately lowered his voice, with a look of gritted teeth.
Everyone at the table, regardless of whether they were eating before, put down their chopsticks and looked at the two wives nervously. I was afraid that the two would fight on the spot.
Gu Zhen was holding the teacup, she was too nervous, and with a shake of her hand, the teacup fell to the ground.
Gu Zhen's face turned pale with fright, it's over, it's over.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, it was Gu Jiu who helped her catch the falling teacup. For this reason, a few drops of tea splashed on Gu Jiu's sleeve.
Gu Zhen hurriedly said, "Thank you!"
"Hush!"
Gu Jiu put the teacup back on the table and signaled Gu Zhen not to speak.
At this time, it would be nice for everyone to be a quiet and melon-eating crowd.
The atmosphere between Xie's and Zhang's is best described as tense.
Gu Shan watched, very anxious.
I want to come forward to persuade a few words, but I also know that I am not qualified for this occasion.
She was really worried. On the first day back to Beijing, her mother and her aunt got into a fight.
If so, how will we get along with each other in the future
Living under the same roof, not seeing up and seeing down, really tearing my face, how embarrassing it is.
Just when Gu Shan was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, there was a movement from the next table, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
boom!
The wine glass was thrown on the ground and shattered with a loud noise.
After Mr. Gu drank, he started to make trouble again.
Mr. Gu regretted it very much. He shouldn't have been invited to this banquet today.
But on the first day the second room returned home, it was inappropriate for the old man not to show up.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Elder Gu made a decisive decision, "Come here, the old man is drunk, take the old man down."
"The old man is not drunk. Boss, you are not filial, the old man is not drunk, why do you say that I am drunk. Be careful that the old man will sue you in front of the emperor."
Mr. Gu is not afraid at all, he probably got used to it long ago.
He said to Mr. Gu: "Father, don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty will not see you. You forgot, His Majesty ordered you to go home and reflect. It's been two years, but did you ever ask you to return to court?" Church?"
Mr. Gu still had the official post of General of the Zhenjun hanging on his body, and on the gate outside Gu's mansion was also the plaque of General Gu's mansion.
However, Mr. Gu's official position is a false one. Only in name, no matter what, there are no soldiers under him.
In the past, Mr. Gu could still go to the morning court.
Once, Mr. Gu drank too much and fell asleep in the morning.
Of course the emperor was not happy when he saw this. He ordered Mr. Gu to go home and reflect.
This introspection lasted for two years.
Mr. Gu deliberately mentioning this matter now is to expose Mr. Gu's scars.
Old man Gu was furious and reached out to lift the table.
Mr. Gu had been prepared for a long time, pressing down firmly on the table.
He said to his servants: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly take the old man down and serve him well. Recently, don't let the old man come out."
"yes!"
Several servants who were tall and rough rushed forward, grabbing hands, grabbing feet, and lifted old man Gu up.
Everyone is skilled in action, has a clear division of labor, and cooperates tacitly.
It is clear that they have cooperated countless times.
"Old man, stop making trouble, and the younger ones will take you back to your room."
The servants said, carried Mr. Gu and left.
Erfang's family was stunned, and there was such an operation, why did they go so early
