The imperial capital received a reply from Guhou's Mansion, and Gu Huaijiang asked them to stay in Changzhou, waiting for Gu Shubai to recover before returning.
Knowing that several of the princes of Guhou Mansion were going to celebrate the New Year in Changzhou Mansion, they were busy preparing various things for the New Year.
No matter what the New Year's goods are poured out, wine, food, refreshments and other things are naturally indispensable. He also sent a lot of lanterns and red paper to hang and post in various places in the government office.
Yufu was busy taking care of Gu Shubai, and Gu Jiuge was busy investigating the origins of the assassins, but Gu Yi was the only one who was free.
"There are Master Lao Futai, let's put these things. Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve, Master Futai has been there for a good year, so let's make do with it."
The sixth son was easy to talk, and he was much more polite than the second son.
Kuanji respectfully said: "Where and where, how can the next official go to celebrate the Chinese New Year? Naturally, I have to assist the second son in the investigation, and let the master behind the scenes appear. Oh, right, I don't know what happened to the body of the son?"
"Eldest brother is personally taken care of by Yufu, it's okay, there are people from Lao Futai who are concerned."
Kuanji hurriedly said, "Is it the young lady Yufu adopted by Lord Hou? Last time the second son ordered the official to send two maids, this is the young lady who served?"
Gu Yi glanced at him, "Yes, Guhou Mansion is such a young lady, what's the matter?"
"Hey, the sons can make do, but Miss Yufu is a sweet guest, but you can't make do. The next official ordered a few newly made clothes and some sweets and snacks. Please also send the sixth son to Miss Yufu, don't dislike it. The officer has a little heart."
After talking, he raised his hands, and followed four or five people holding brocade boxes behind them. The clothes exposed were brightly colored and the embroidery skills were quite exquisite.
It seems that this leniency and strictness has done his homework and knows who is the most favored in Guhou Mansion.
Gu Yi casually said: "Master Futai is interested, Yufu likes to be busy, if there are firecrackers on New Year's Eve, she will be happier."
Firecrackers...
Quan Ji Yan returned to his senses, Gu Yi had already taken the people back to the backyard of the mansion, and he held his hands against Gu Yi's back.
"The next official understands, the next official will do it!"
…
On New Year's Eve, the four Gu family brothers and sisters gathered in the backyard hall and ate together.
The dishes on the table are suitable for meat and vegetables, many of which are the specialties of the Imperial Capital, and they are prepared very thoughtfully.
Gu Yi looked at this table, but couldn't eat it.
"At this time in previous years, my father would first take us to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors, and then return to the Shangfang to have a meal. Then we would celebrate the New Year and watch the New Year, and wait until the sky is twilight before we return to our rooms."
Only Gu Huaijiang and Gu Hanmo, Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang are left in Guhou's Mansion this year. They must also feel very deserted, right
Gu Jiuge picked up a chopsticks dish for him, "After a few days, the eldest brother's body will recover, it is the same if we go back to worship our ancestors, and our ancestors will understand us."
"Yes, if the ancestors knew that the eldest brother was poisoned, he must be the same as the father, and he would rather stay outside for a few more days."
Yufu also gave him a chopstick dish, and took a look at him by the way.
Why does he talk so much
"Hey, big brother, Yufu said that the toxins on your body are unclear, so don't eat this shrimp, right?"
Gu Yi guarded the pile of vegetables in the bowl, and went to grab Gu Shubai's, bullying him for lack of strength.
What you grab is delicious.
Gu Yi feasted, suddenly raising his head, he saw Yufu peeling the shrimp shells, and putting them in Gu Shu's white bowl after peeling them.
"Big brother eat this."
There is no harm if there is no comparison, and Gu Yi suddenly felt that the shrimp he looted was not so delicious.
Yufu peeled it with his own hands.
"Xiao Yufu, you also peel me a chant!"
"Don't you have any strength in your hands?"
Gu Shubai glanced at him, his eyes were full, don't forget who helped you block the poisonous needle.
Gu Yi closed his mouth angrily.
Gu Jiuge added wine to everyone's cups, had a meal when Yufu was in front of him, and finally walked around.
"Pour a cup of tea for the young lady."
He didn't dare to drink Yufu anymore, Gu Shubai's eyes would kill him.
The maid stepped forward to pour the tea, and Gu Shubai said: "I can drink tea too. Although the spirits are warm, I am afraid of hurting and understanding the properties of the medicine."
Yufu looked at him with a smile, "Drinking too much is not good for your health, so drink less."
Gu Jiuge coughed twice.
Gu Yi said: "It seems that only my second brother and I have been drinking, second brother, come, let's have a toast!"
Gu Jiuge covered his wine glass and winked at the maid on the side, "I also drink tea, and I will pour my son a cup of tea."
The three people in the seat all looked at him.
He has always been addicted to alcohol and claims to be not drunk in a thousand cups, but today he wants to drink tea
Gu Jiuge does not drink, is it still Gu Jiuge
He looked at Gu Yi with a straight face, "What kind of wine do you drink at a young age? Drinking too much is bad for your health, so drink less."
Listening to this, he was inexplicably familiar.
Gu Yi looked dumbfounded, "But second brother, you were fourteen..."
"Your second brother is suave and talented. Can't you learn from me?"
What Yufu didn't like, he didn't like everything from then on.
As soon as Gu Jiuge's voice fell, the quiet president suddenly heard a "bang", which shocked everyone.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!"
Kuan Jiyan walked in from the door, holding a firecracker incense in his hand, "I heard that Miss Yufu likes the sound of firecrackers the most, and the Xiaguan specially ordered some to be put in the courtyard. Miss Yufu wants to go personally. Put it?"
Who told him that Yufu liked firecrackers
Seeing that the situation is 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!"
"Hey? This..."
