Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 481 Storytelling
Today is the old lady's birthday banquet, and guests from all over the world are coming.

In front of the door, there are a few bright and neatly dressed young masters, as well as a few housekeepers, all smiling and welcoming, showing nothing unusual.

Gu Xiang also followed the flow of people to the door in a low-key manner.

Li Sheng introduced the identity of the visitor to her in a low voice, "That's Zhou Xueshi from the Imperial Academy, over there is the manager of Datong Automobile Co. , At least one-tenth of the dishes in our capital are delivered by him."

Gu Xiang hurriedly took a second look, this really needs to be remembered.

Zhao Ying took a deep breath, flicked his sleeves lightly, pushed Li Sheng aside, and took his place by himself: "Wearing a Hu suit in the west... Uh, Song Xiaoyi from our Imperial City Division, cough cough."

Gu Xiang: "Pfft!"

"Another person in a black robe, from the Ministry of Rites, is called..."

"Punish Qi."

Li Sheng rolled his eyes slightly, but said to Gu Xiang: "My son has done quite a lot of homework in this area, but the young lady also knows that he has a lot of things to do every day - naturally I am too lazy to remember the names one by one."

After a while, the guests all entered the door.

Gu Xiang is a female family member, and she didn't even take the post, so a servant girl came to welcome her to the other side of the screen.

Zhao Ying was startled: "..."

Li Sheng stretched out his hand to drag his young master, and stretched out his hand to block the boy who came to guide the way politely, and showed him his waist badge, and then walked a few steps with the young lady.

Only Zhao Ying and Li Sheng could only watch helplessly as Gu Xiang led the girls around him to separate from them.

No matter how high and powerful he is, he can't offend other women's family members.

All the way through the veranda, bypassing the beams and columns, Gu Xiang's expression gradually became solemn.

Qiu Li looked left and right, and her expression soon relaxed a lot: "Little lady, isn't this Fan family one of the most wealthy merchants in the capital?"

In her impression, those wealthy merchants' homes are all resplendent and magnificent, and every household lives an extremely luxurious life. When the female family members of the merchants are at home, everyone should be full of silk and satin, and even the maids must be stunning. From the outside of the Fan family's house It is magnificent, but after entering the garden, I found that the flowers and trees in the garden are not expensive, and the stones are also ordinary, so there is a bit of rustic charm.

On the side of the road, there were some onions and garlic, as well as some dogwoods. Opposite was a small vegetable garden. The clothes of the walking maids and servants were neat and the materials were good, but they didn't have the exaggerated aura of wealth like other big businessmen.

Gu Xiang led Xue Ying and Qiu Li to sit at the table by the pool, and heard the sound of the pipa, and an old man with white beard and hair was sitting on it playing the pipa.

Qiu Li stepped on her feet and took a look: "Isn't that old Zoutou?"

Old Zou Tou is an old qin teacher, he is quite good at playing the qin, but he is a little rough-looking, and has been teaching the qin in various houses in the capital.

Recently, I often go to their "Gu Ji", and every time I eat a bowl of meat, I have to go on stage to speak a book.

Old Zou Tou's storytelling is somewhat different from other rap artists in the capital. He doesn't talk about retribution from ghosts and gods, but loves to talk about the affairs of the dynasty. .

A few days ago in "Gu Ji" I even made up a story about "Gu Xiang"'s life experience. I said that I was just joking around. At that time, Qiu Li was very angry. If Gu Xiang didn't let me control her, she would have grabbed the old man It is impossible to pluck a few of his beards.

The sound of Lao Zou's pipa was a little desolate. After a while, he stopped playing the lute, and sat down with a cup of tea in his hand, slowly swallowing the tea.

Qiu Li stopped talking immediately, then smiled, and lowered her voice, "I'm used to it."

Every time old Zou Tou drank tea, he had to tell a story. He was very skilled, and every time he spoke, the whole house was silent. Qiuli came to listen every time, and she developed such a habit.

Sure enough, after swallowing two sips of tea, Lao Zou slowly began to talk about the two or three things that happened between a certain lady and the guards in the palace of this dynasty.

Qiu Li's eyes popped out.

Gu Xiang: "..."

After a long while, Qiu Li said in a dazed voice, "I won't beat this old Zou if he talks about our family in the future."

His old man arranges even the emperor if he wants to arrange it, so what can he do if he talks about himself.

Gu Xiang laughed: "Then you are not a good maid, you should say, he said that the emperor can do it, but your little lady can't."

Qiu Li: "...be taught."

Old Zou told a few short stories about the royal family in one breath, which made all the guests laugh.

Gu Xiang smiled and blinked, she suddenly felt that old Zou Tou looked at her deliberately.

"Sister Huan?"

Gu Xiang was pondering, only to hear someone whispering beside him.

She turned her head to look over, and the person who spoke was the eldest lady of the Li family, Mrs. Han, who was sitting not far in front at this moment, looking at her in surprise.

Gu Xiang also nodded politely to say hello.Although her relationship with the Li family is quite awkward, Gu Xiang is not lacking in the courtesy.

Han frowned secretly, thinking why did she come to Fan's house?
Then I thought, this sister Huan is now doing business in the capital, and because the Fan family is a merchant, I don't think much of it. great thing.

After all, I still don’t know.

Han slandered, hesitated for a while, but didn't say anything.

She was worried that Sister Huan would do something inappropriate and affect the Li family, but the person has already arrived, so wouldn't it be more inappropriate to quarrel at other people's birthday banquets?

Han made up her mind secretly, and later found an excuse to ask someone to lead Sister Huan out.

If she hadn't gotten the news this time that the Fan family had several properties to sell, she couldn't help but be tempted to take Gu Xiang away at this time.

Mrs. Han was still quite worried that Sister Huan would run into a wall on such an occasion. Although she had never gotten along with Sister Huan and had no feelings for her, but the current world situation was like this, no matter how bad Sister Huan's life was, it was also from the blood of the Li family and could not be ignored.

Not long after, singing and dancing began, and jugglers also appeared on the stage. The silver-haired old lady of the Fan family held a seven or eight-year-old red doll in her arms, and the wrinkles on her face stretched out with a smile.

Gu Xiang glanced at it, but turned around and looked at the stage. Qiu Li couldn't help laughing: "This old Zou has also changed his temper. He doesn't make arrangements for others, and he changes his storytelling?"

Old Zoutou was indeed telling a story.

The background is an unfounded dynasty, and the protagonist is also an unfounded character.

After listening for a while, Gu Xiang was still calm, but Qiu Li's face paled, and she went to see her little lady frequently.

"...It's said that Lady Rong was stabbed in the center of the heart with a sword. She knew that she was going to die soon, so she called her confidants to tell her about her death."

"Rong Niangzi endured the severe pain in her chest, and she only said that she was worthy of heaven, of others, and of herself in this life. Although she died a little earlier, there are always misfortunes and blessings. Others will encounter accidents, and she will naturally. One thing, the poor child is innocent."

"The loyal servants around her made an oath that they must find the young master, but Lady Rong sighed and said, not only to take care of my daughter, but more importantly, my sister Huan. When it comes time to make a choice, remember to save Sister Huan's child first."
