After being dressed as the original match of cannon fodder, she was spoiled by a powerful minister

Chapter 215 I endured it and did nothing
On the day of Mrs. Gu's birthday, the weather was not good and it snowed heavily.

Su Wan and others took the carriage and finally reached the gate of Gu Guogong's mansion, but they were blocked by the long carriage team in front.

Seeing her, Fu Zhenzhen muttered softly, "It's just a rude old lady, how come so many people come to celebrate her birthday?"

Before coming, Su Wan knew about Mrs. Gu from Si Xian, and said, "It is said that Mrs. Gu fought with the Queen Mother in the battlefield when she was young. She is also a remarkable female general and is quite respected in Beijing.

However, she has a weird temper and is stubborn. Once she decides on something, it is difficult to change her mind. "

Fu Zhenzhen was quite surprised, "She has also fought against the queen mother? Then, she can also know martial arts?"

"Yes." Su Wan nodded, "She is also a female general, and the Gu family is a family of military generals, who have made countless contributions to the Great Yan Dynasty."

When Fu Zhenzhen heard this, she hesitated, "The old lady must be very difficult to deal with."

Su Wan said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as we don't intentionally cause trouble, as elders, they won't make things difficult for us."

"That's true." Fu Zhenzhen felt relieved.

Although Wang didn't speak, she was actually a little nervous.

She is not stupid, knowing that Mrs. Gu specially sent someone to invite her, it must not be that simple.

After waiting for a long time, the road in front of the Duke's Mansion was cleared, and guests entered the mansion one after another.

After Su Wan and the others got out of the carriage, they handed over the gifts they brought to the servants of the Duke's Mansion, and then under the guidance of the servants of the Duke's Mansion, they went to the backyard to meet Mrs. Gu.

When a few people arrived, there were already many people sitting in the room, talking lively.

"Old lady, Mrs. Fu, Mrs. Fu, and Ms. Fu have arrived." The servant led the three of them inside, and then reported to the old lady on the main seat.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their heads to look at Su Wan and the three of them.

Many of the ministers and noble daughters among them had met Su Wan and the others at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet before, so they were not very curious about the arrival of the three of them. The three smiled kindly.

"Zhenzhen, you're here." Li Xueqin, Miss Li's family, was very happy to see Fu Zhenzhen, and hurriedly shouted, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the room.

"Xueqin." Fu Zhenzhen also nodded to her with a smile.

The old lady Gu came back to her senses, looked at her critically, and then fell on Wang Shi and Su Wan.

"You are Mrs. Wang?" She opened her mouth a little rudely.

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard her addressing Mrs. Wang.

Although Mrs. Wang was born in the countryside, she is Fu Xiang's mother. She was summoned by the empress dowager herself last time, and she is considered a person of status. However, Mrs. Gu directly called her Mrs. Wang, which seemed a bit disrespectful.

But thinking of the old lady's weird temper, everyone is not surprised.

Su Wan frowned slightly, looked at her, and was about to speak for Wang Shi, but Wang Shi stepped forward, "It's the concubine. The concubine is present to the old lady, and I wish the old lady good luck, Shoubi Nanshan."

She had a gentle voice and decent manners, and she was not annoyed at all by the old lady's rudeness.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Gu's expression froze for a while, as if she didn't expect her to be so calm, she couldn't help but look at her more.

The so-called stretching out her hand and not slapping people with smiling faces, even though she looked down on Mrs. Wang in her heart, she couldn't embarrass Mrs. Wang in front of all the guests at this time, so she said "um" calmly .

"Nurse Tian, ​​why don't you invite someone to sit down?"

Only then did Nanny Tian come forward and lead the three of the Wang family to their seats.

As soon as the three of them sat down, there was a wife and a young lady who came over to talk to the three of them in a very warm and cordial tone.

Seeing Mrs. Gu, she felt very uncomfortable.

It's just a woman from an outsider's background who can't stand on the stage.

Not long after, Mrs. Gu and Gu Mingzhu came in.

As soon as she saw Su Wan and the three of them, Gu Mingzhu bouncingly squeezed away the crowd and got close to the three of them.

"You guys are here, why don't you let me know?"

Su Wan said with a smile: "I thought you were busy, and I was afraid to disturb you."

Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips, "There are plenty of courteous people in the mansion, so I'm no use."

When Gu Guogong's concubines heard this, they all looked a little ugly, but they all held back and didn't dare to say anything.

Mrs. Gu's gaze fell on Mrs. Wang, and she said calmly, "You're here."

Mrs. Wang nodded to her, "Mrs. Gu."

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu twitched the corner of her mouth and didn't say any more.

Mrs. Gu had a big birthday, and there were many guests in the mansion. The male guests were all in the front yard, entertained by Gu Guogong, Gu Xiao and a few other concubines, while the female guests gathered in the old lady's courtyard, and Madam Gu personally entertained them.

Before the banquet started, Gu Mingzhu felt bored staying in the room, so she took Su Wan's hand and wanted to run outside, "The flowers in our plum garden are blooming, I'll take you to see them."

Su Wan was worried about Wang Shi and Fu Zhenzhen, so she quickly grabbed her hand, "I will go next time to appreciate plum blossoms..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Gu, "You girl, why didn't you invite everyone to appreciate the plum blossoms? Mother Tian, ​​has the snow stopped outside?"

Mother Tian replied from the side: "It has stopped."

"Since it's stopped, let's all go to the Plum Garden to enjoy the plum blossoms and see the snow." Mrs. Gu said.

Everyone was so happy that they hurriedly got up and surrounded Mrs. Gu and went to the plum garden.

Gu Guogong's mansion occupies a very large area. Because Mrs. Gu likes plum blossoms, she specially set up a plum garden to grow plum blossoms.

When everyone arrived at the plum garden, amidst the white snow, a piece of red plums bloomed proudly, fresh and beautiful, very beautiful.

But when everyone arrived, the male guests who were supposed to be in the front yard also arrived at the plum garden and were admiring the plum blossoms.

Some talented civil servants are composing poems for plum blossoms, which is very lively.

Seeing Mrs. Gu approaching, everyone rushed forward to greet her.

Mrs. Gu looked at the crowd happily, "We didn't disturb your gentlemen, did we?"

Everyone shook their heads hurriedly, "Don't say that, old lady, old lady is today's birthday star, and it is only interesting where old lady is."

This remark made Mrs. Gu very useful.

Gu Guogong, who accompanied the guests to admire the plum blossoms, had already seen Mrs. Wang among the concubines.

He subconsciously took a step forward, but thinking of what she said before, he finally endured it and did nothing.

Wang Shi naturally noticed his gaze on her, and just pretended that she didn't see it.

The plum garden is very lively, and everyone gathers around the plum tree to admire the plum trees, or to recite poems and compose Fu.

Su Wan was always by Wang's side, and Gu Mingzhu was also close to her, like a candy.

"Mingzhu, you can go and play, you don't need to accompany me." Su Wan said helplessly.

Gu Mingzhu pouted, "What's the fun with them? I don't want to play with them."

The two were talking, at this time, a clear and pleasant voice said: "Mrs. Fu is very talented. I don't know if we will have the honor to listen to Mrs. Fu recite a poem today?"
