The cute apprentice of the national teacher is charming and wild

217 Chapter 216: Birthday gift

Gu Zhi'an said: "The banquet is about to begin, please move forward, princes and Prince Jinrong."

He led the way, and several people walked side by side behind.

Jing Zhanli beat the palm of his hand with the folding fan, his eyes wandered, thinking about something secretly.

Next to him, Jing Moyan looked at the road ahead without squinting, and asked softly, "Just now, what was Zhanli looking at?"

When he just walked over, he saw Zhan Li staring at the little girl, wondering what he was looking at.

Jing Zhanli narrowed his eyes, and smiled faintly: "Uncle Shihuang doesn't think, who does that little girl look like?"

Jing Moyan's eyes darken slightly, "With whom?"

"Tsk, I can't remember," Jing Zhanli rubbed the center of his brows, the man was on his lips, but he just couldn't say it for a while.

Jing Moyan closed his eyes lightly, looking at the road under his feet, covering the obscurity in his eyes.

When we arrived at the garden, everyone sat down.

Today, many ministers from the DPRK and China came, most of the important officials attended, and the scene was grand.

Only three powerful ministers did not come, the National Teacher, Zuo Xiang and General Yi'an.

No matter how big Gu Zhi'an's meeting is, Yun Ranyue, who is under one person and over ten thousand national teachers, will not come.

Bai Qingchen is not in the imperial capital now, if he was in the imperial capital, he might come to join in the fun.

Song Zhibai had business to do, and she didn't want to attend Gu Zhian's birthday banquet, as she had never had friendship with Gu Zhian, an old fox.

Because of Gu Zhijin, she didn't have a good impression of Gu Zhian, even if she didn't have official business, she still couldn't bear to attend his birthday banquet.

Gu Zhian is the host today, sitting at the first place, with Aunt Liu and Aunt Jiang sitting on both sides, both of them wear heavy makeup, gorgeous clothes, and a dignified and luxurious demeanor.

Gu Qingmo, Gu Qingyun and Gu Zhixuan sat below.

Three daughters and two concubines surrounded Gu Zhian, looking very happy.

Nan Zhuohua and Gu Zhijin are sitting far away, and they don't like being so close to them.

Today, Gu Qingmo is the one who dresses up most attentively. She dresses up to attend the event, and she is gorgeous. Gu Qingyun and Gu Zhixuan beside her are like a foil.

Gu Qingmo couldn't compare to Gu Qingyun in terms of appearance and demeanor, but Gu Qingyun's makeup was simple and not that ostentatious, so Gu Qingmo took the limelight away.

Gu Zhian got up and raised his glass: "It's my birthday today, thank you all the adults and princes for coming to celebrate my birthday, I am very grateful, here is a toast to everyone."

Everyone toasted in unison: "My lord, you are welcome."

Afterwards, Gu Qingmo got up first, took out a jade carving sea dongqing as a birthday gift to Gu Zhian, smiling, dignified and generous, "I wish my father a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity like the South Mountain."

"Hahaha, okay, okay." Gu Zhian smiled, and now among the daughters, Gu Qingmo is more and more in his favor.

The people below also nodded in praise, although the Seventh Miss is a concubine, her upbringing and bearing are also outstanding.

Now that Aunt Liu is in power, she owns all the property and storehouses of the house, food and clothing are the best, even today's birthday gift was chosen at a high price.

With the power in their hands, Aunt Liu, mother and daughter, also changed their previous petty attitude and learned to enjoy themselves.

On the other hand, Gu Zhixuan was a little downcast.

Because Shen Xiru is still recuperating from her injuries, and Gu Yinxiu is also semi-disabled, staying in the yard all day long, so she was the only one present at Gu Zhian's birthday banquet.

Without Shen Xiru's pampering, she also restrained her domineering temperament.

The birthday gift she gave was a finely carved object. Although it was not as expensive as Gu Qingmo's, it was done with care, and Gu Zhian was equally happy.

Gu Qingyun didn't have so many bells and whistles, and the birthday gift she gave was both precious and practical. It was a valuable thousand-year-old ginseng. Nowadays, century-old ginseng is very precious, let alone this thousand-year-old ginseng.

Gu Zhian laughed heartily, envious of all the others.

That thousand-year-old ginseng nourishes the body a lot.

The embarrassing flower in Nan Zhuohua's arms, with blue eyes, kept staring at the ginseng plant, and those sly little eyes harbored malicious intentions.

Nan Zhuohua silently closed Xihua's open cat mouth, disgusted, "Xiaohua, your saliva is about to flow out."

The birthday gifts of these three daughters are better than Gu Qingyun's.

Aunt Jiang sat on the chair, straightened her body, her face was very proud, and she glanced proudly at Aunt Liu beside her.

No matter how much the old seven can please the master, he is just empty skin, and will never be as good as her daughter.

Aunt Liu felt her showing off, she had no choice but to grieve her teeth.

Now that the middle class of the family is in charge of both of them, it is inevitable that there will be secret comparisons.

They are also aunts, let's see who can have the last laugh.

As a daughter, Gu Zhijin naturally wanted to give a gift. She didn't have any precious things to give in her yard, so she took two days to embroider a picture of a crane. It was lifelike, lifelike and picturesque, and the meaning was beautiful.

Aunt Liu glanced at the embroidery, and smiled leisurely: "Since Miss San doesn't have any gifts for the master, why don't you tell me in advance so that I can choose one for Miss San, any gift is better than a present." Strong embroidery."

There was no trace of contempt or dislike in the tone, but inside and outside the words, it was secretly probing that Gu Zhijin's embroidery was not handy.

"Brocade really doesn't have any gifts to give, if Aunt Liu thinks this gift is not good, just take it back."

Gu Zhijin frowned, her tone was cold, the embroidered picture she had worked so hard for was a birthday gift, since they didn't like it, she would take it back, so as not to let them trample on it in vain.

Aunt Liu's face was ugly, she didn't expect this little hoof to contradict her in public, her watery eyes looked at Gu Zhi'an with aggrieved eyes: "Master, I just said one more thing, it's a good intention, Miss San can't say it."

Without waiting for Gu Zhian to speak, Gu Qingyun interjected first, with a soft and gentle voice: "I think this gift from Third Sister is very good. Every stitch and thread is the heart and hard work of Third Sister. Third Sister's embroidery has always been excellent, and it is better than that beautiful embroidery The embroiderers in the workshop are all equal, and the embroidery is exquisite and lifelike. This embroidered picture of a crane is the best gift for my father." She shook her head and chuckled, and said: "My ginseng plant is the same in front of the third sister. Ashamed."

Her words won the praise of everyone. In terms of bearing and vision, this fifth young lady is dignified and generous, with a broad vision.

In contrast, Aunt Liu's pettiness was exposed again.

Originally born in Goulanyuan, she has a temperament that cannot be changed in her bones, which makes everyone feel disgusted.

Aunt Liu felt the gazes from all directions, forcing her to lower her head, even the thick gouache on her face could not cover up the blushing.

She gritted her teeth, feeling extremely hated in her heart.

Gu Zhi'an's face was slightly embarrassed, Aunt Liu's face was not his face, and forced a half smile, "The third child's gift is thoughtful, I like it very much for my father."

As for whether he really likes it or not, everyone can see through it or not, it can be seen from his forced smile.

The daughters have all given their birthday presents, and the only thing left is the youngest daughter, Nan Zhuohua.
