Views:

Aunt Liang was counting the dishes delivered today in the kitchen, thinking about what soup to make in the evening. Her son Wen Zhongcheng and his daughter-in-law were both helping.

There are only two masters and three servants in a large general's mansion. General Gu treats their family very well, and they are not even called masters and servants on weekdays. It was deserted, but the mansion was swept up and down neatly and organized in an orderly manner, and the three meals were delicious and never perfunctory.

Years passed, everything was quiet, but unfortunately the general's wife left early, and the mansion was less lively after all.

Aunt Liang was instructing her son Wen Zhongcheng to move a basket of green cabbage to the stove when she saw Gu Heyan hurried over: "Aunt Liang, a distinguished guest is here today."

"VIP?" Aunt Liang raised her head and wiped her temples with the back of her hand.

The General's Mansion has not been welcoming guests for many years, why is there a guest suddenly

Fortunately, Aunt Liang was virtuous, and immediately said to her daughter-in-law, "Jianjuaner, you can go to the wooden shelf on the left side of the warehouse to find it. There should be a set of simple and elegant celadon tea sets. Take them out and wash the dust with boiling water."

"Ai, I got it." Juanniang got up immediately.

Aunt Liang also wanted to ask who Gu Heyan was coming, but she turned her head and saw that Gu Heyan came and went in a hurry, but after a few words, the person disappeared.

"Hey, where are you rushing this kid?" Aunt Liang wondered.

She quickly got the answer.

After half an hour, Gu Heyan returned to the stove with sweat on his temples, panting slightly, and handed Aunt Liang a hexagonal box inlaid with mahogany inlaid with hundreds of treasures in his hand.

Aunt Liang stayed for a moment, then took over and asked, "What is this?"

"Pastry, wait for entertaining guests." Gu Heyan left those words and turned around and left.

Aunt Liang carefully opened the lid, and saw that there were wooden strips in the middle of the food box to divide it into left and right sides. On the left was the soft sweet-scented osmanthus and tuckahoe cake, and on the right was the crispy chestnut candy, delicate and delicious, and the index finger moved.

Wen Zhongcheng came over to take a look, and said suspiciously, "Master Yuyi has never liked sweets, so how could he know to buy these curly cakes?"

Aunt Liang shook her head, put away the food box, and asked Wen Zhongcheng to clean the main hall, while she prepared tea.

She had just finished her work and saw Gu Heyan hurried towards her anxiously: "Aunt Liang, I have something to look for you, can you come with me?"

Aunt Liang had never seen him so at a loss, so she thought that something major happened, so she hurriedly followed him.

The two walked to the outer room of the east wing, and Aunt Liang was surprised to see Wen Zhongcheng and her daughter-in-law Juanniang also, and couldn't help being horrified.

What the hell is going on!

Gu Heyan brought a wooden stool to Aunt Liang, and the three of them sat in a row, nervously watching Gu Heyan pacing back and forth in front of their eyes, thinking about what to say.

After a long while, Gu Heyan, who was indifferent and cold-hearted since childhood, said slowly, "What do you think..."

Three people: "Think?!"

Gu Heyan: "I..."

Three people: "You?!"

Gu Heyan: "...What kind of clothes do you wear on weekdays?"

Three people: "… "

Wen Zhongcheng almost fell off the wooden bench, and he held the bench with trembling hands: "Master Yuyi, you called the three of us here, and that's it... Ow!" Before he could finish speaking, he screamed.

Aunt Liang and Juanniang pinched the blind man from left to right. After blocking his words, the two looked at each other and exchanged glances quickly.

Dear guest today, no! have to! !

"Wen'er, have you finished cleaning the main hall?" Aunt Liang asked.

"Not yet." Wen Zhongcheng inhaled and exhaled and rubbed his sore waist, "I was only half-cleaned when the young master hurriedly called me. I thought there was something important..."

Juanniang patted him on the shoulder and told him to shut up and say a few words less.

"Go and clean, Juan'er and I are here." Aunt Liang waved her hand to drive away the ignorant and stupid person, and then she and Juanniang opened the simple wooden unpatterned cabinet in the inner room where the clothes were kept, and took care of Gu. He Yan stood up.

Just a few pieces of clothes to choose from, and settled on a brocade dress with sky blue embroidered bamboo and dark patterns. After Gu Heyan changed his outer clothes, Aunt Liang found a bamboo-leaf jade crown in the closet to tie his hair and encouraged him. He smiled and said, "Master Yuyi is so handsome, he looks good in anything."

"Exactly." Juanniang agreed with a smile, "As I see it, let alone this mortal girl, even if she is a girl with brilliant embroidery and looks like a fairy, Master Yu Yi can match her."

Gu Heyan was silent, and lowered his head to straighten his sleeves and wrists.

"Madam's jade pendant is not suitable for this dress." Juanniang held the agate jade pendant and hesitated to wear it for Gu Heyan.

"Wrap it in a clean silk cloth and put it in the young master's arms, it can be considered to be worn with you." Aunt Liang said.

"Ai, good." Juanniang nodded and did as she did.

After going back and forth, it was the appointed time. Duke Yan's carriage slowly approached the general's mansion. Wen Zhongcheng stepped forward to pick up the guests, leaned over and smiled and led Mu Boren and Mu Zhiming to the main hall.

Bypassing the shadow wall is the courtyard. There are no corridors and no flowers and plants. The courtyard is so simple and solemn that the father and son surnamed Mu couldn't help sighing in their hearts.

"Master, your distinguished guest is here." Wen Zhongcheng called at the entrance of the main hall, leaning over and making a gesture of please.

Mu Boren led Mu Zhiming into the main hall, saw Gu Miao and Gu Heyan standing in front of the hall, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute: "General Gu, thank the Gu family for saving the child's life, thank you for your late arrival, and look forward to General Gu. Haihan, come to the door at this time, there is so much harassment, I hope the general will not blame!"

Mu Zhiming followed his father's greeting from the president, and did not get up for a long time.

"Yan Guogong!" Gu Miao hurriedly returned the salute to help Mu Boren, "It's more polite, kindness starts from the heart, don't ask for anything in return, please take a seat."

The duke and the general were seated in the front, while Gu Heyan and Mu Zhiming were seated side by side. Just then, Juanniang leaned over and entered the main hall, bringing tea and snacks.

Mu Zhiming's eyes fell on the small celadon plate for dessert, and he was a little surprised to see the chestnut candy on the three neatly arranged sweet-scented osmanthus and tuckahoe cakes.

This is actually his favorite snack in Jiyuezhai. He wants to come to Jiyuezhai and the general's mansion is separated by eight squares. It is so far away that the general's mansion always prepares snacks. It seems that Jiyuezhai does have some reputation.

Although Mu Zhiming was drooling, he knew that he should be reserved when visiting and seeing guests. Otherwise, he would eat and drink while others were talking. So I held back my greed and didn't move the plate of dim sum, just took the teacup and sipped it.

The fragrant tea was sweet in his mouth, Mu Zhiming swallowed the tea, and heard Gu Miao calling Gu Heyan: "Yu Yi."

"Father, you ordered." Gu Heyan stood up and clasped his fists.

Gu Miao stroked his chin and said, "I'm chatting with Duke Yan, you two children will definitely find it boring and boring, so let's go, you take Master Mu to play in the yard, the two of you don't need to stay here, let's go. ."

"Yes." Gu Heyan nodded and looked at Mu Zhiming.

Mu Zhiming hurriedly stood up and asked Mu Boren with his eyes.

Mu Boren nodded: "Go."

"Father, General, our juniors will retire first." Mu Zhiming leaned over and bowed, followed behind Gu Heyan and walked out of the main hall.

Seeing the two figures walking away, Gu Miao turned his head and asked Mu Boren with a smile: "Yan Guogong, can you take the liberty to ask a question."

"General Gu is more polite, and Mu must know everything." Mu Boren said hurriedly.

"Dare to ask..." Gu Miao smiled and said slowly, "Do you have a daughter under your knees, Duke Yan?"
