There was a reply letter from Gu Hou's mansion from the imperial capital, Gu Huaijiang asked them to stay in Changzhou and return after Gu Shubai recovered.
Knowing that the sons of Guhou's mansion are going to celebrate the New Year in the Changzhou government office, the generous relief is as strict as facing an enemy, so they are in a hurry to prepare all kinds of things for the New Year.
New Year's goods are all that matters, of course there must be food, drinks and refreshments, and he also sent people to send a lot of red paper for lanterns, to be hung and posted everywhere in the government office.
Yufu is busy taking care of Gu Shubai, Gu Jiuge is busy investigating the origin of the assassin, only Gu Yi is free.
"Master Futai, let's put these things away. Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve. Master Futai has had a good year, so let's make do with it."
The sixth son is easy to talk to, much more polite than the second son.
Kuan Ji said respectfully: "Where is that, how can I go to celebrate the New Year by myself? Naturally, I have to assist the second young master to investigate and let the master behind the scenes show up. Oh, by the way, I don't know how the prince's health is?"
"Eldest brother is taken care of by Yufu himself, he's fine, Master Laofutai is concerned."
Kuan Ji hurriedly said: "Is it Miss Yufu who was adopted by Master Hou? Last time the second son ordered the officials to send two maids, is this the lady who served?"
Gu Yi glanced at him, "Yes, there is only one young lady in Gu Hou's mansion, what's the matter?"
"Hehe, you guys can make do with it, but Miss Yufu is a spoiled guest, but you can't make do with it. The official ordered someone to prepare a few new clothes and some sweets and snacks. Please pass the sixth son to Miss Yufu, don't dislike me Be considerate."
After finishing speaking, he raised his hand, followed by four or five people holding brocade boxes, their clothes were brightly colored and embroidered exquisitely.
It seems that this Kuan Jiyan has done his homework and knows who is the most favored in the Guhou Mansion.
Gu Yi said casually: "Master Futai has a heart, Yufu likes to be lively, if there are firecrackers on New Year's Eve, she must be even happier."
Firecrackers...
Kuan Jiyan came back to his senses, Gu Yi had already brought people back to the backyard of the government office, and he repeatedly cupped his hands against Gu Yi's back.
"Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan will do it now!"
…
On New Year's Eve, the four brothers and sisters of the Gu family gathered around the hall in the backyard and had dinner together.
The dishes on the table are suitable for meat and vegetables, and many of them are the specialties of the imperial capital, and they are prepared very thoughtfully.
Gu Yi looked at the table of food, but couldn't eat it.
"At this time in previous years, my father would take us to the ancestral hall to pay homage to our ancestors, and then go back to the upper room to have dinner together. Then we would pay New Year's greetings, watch the year, and wait until dawn before going back to our rooms."
This year, Gu Huaijiang, Gu Hanmo, Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang are the only ones left in the Guhou Mansion. They must also feel deserted, right
Gu Jiuge picked up a dish with chopsticks for him, "After a few days, brother's body recovers, it's the same when we go back to pay our respects to our ancestors, who will understand us."
"That's right. If the ancestors knew that the elder brother was poisoned, they would definitely be the same as the father. They would rather the elder brother stay outside for a few more days."
Yu Fu also picked up a dish with chopsticks for him, and glanced at him by the way.
Why does he talk so much
"Hey brother, Yufu said that the toxins in your body are not cleared, so why don't you eat this shrimp?"
Gu Yi guarded the pile of vegetables in the bowl, and wanted to grab Gu Shubai's, bullying him for his lack of strength.
What you grab is delicious.
Gu Yi feasted on the meal, looked up unexpectedly, and saw Yu Fu was peeling the shrimp shells, and put them into Gu Shu's white bowl after peeling.
"Big brother, eat this."
There is no harm if there is no comparison, Gu Yi suddenly felt that the prawns he snatched were not so delicious.
It's still delicious when Yufu peels it with his own hands.
"Xiao Yufu, peel one off for me too!"
"Don't you have strength in your hands?"
Gu Shubai glanced at him, his eyes filled with words, don't forget who blocked the poisonous needle for you.
Gu Yi closed his mouth resentfully.
Gu Jiuge added wine to everyone's cups, paused when he came to Yu Fu, and finally went around.
"Pour a cup of tea for Miss."
He doesn't dare to drink to Yufu anymore, Gu Shubai's eyes will kill him.
The maid stepped forward to pour tea, Gu Shubai said: "I can also drink tea, although strong wine warms people, I'm afraid it will hurt the medicinal properties of the medicine."
Yu Fu looked at him with a smile, "Drinking too much wine is bad for your health, so drink less."
Gu Jiuge coughed twice.
Gu Yi said: "It seems that only me and my second brother are drinking, second brother, come, let's have a drink!"
Gu Jiuge covered his wine glass, and winked at the maid beside him, "I drink tea too, pour me a cup of tea."
The three people in the seat looked at him together.
He has always been addicted to alcohol, claiming that he will never get drunk after a thousand cups, but today he wants to drink tea
If Gu Jiuge doesn't drink, is he still Gu Jiuge
With a serious face, he looked at Gu Yi, "What kind of wine do you drink at such a young age? Drinking too much alcohol is not good for your health, so drink less."
Listening to this, it was inexplicably familiar.
Gu Yi was stunned, "But second brother, you are fourteen years old..."
"Your second brother is suave and talented, so why can't you learn from me?"
What Yu Fu didn't like, he didn't like anything from now on.
As soon as Gu Jiuge finished speaking, a "bang" suddenly came from the quiet president, startling everyone.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!"
Kuan Jiyan came in from the door, holding an incense stick of firecrackers in his hand, "I heard that Miss Yufu likes the sound of firecrackers the most, and the official ordered someone to send some to put in the courtyard. Miss Yufu wants to go there in person. Let it go?"
Who told him that Yufu liked firecrackers
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Yi stood up from his seat, "Master Futai, I'll go with you to set off firecrackers! I like firecrackers the most, let's go!"
"Huh? This..."
