Chapter 370 Gu Xu's Future In-Laws

Kumquat was not going well in the second room. Although she met the second lady, when she heard that she was asking about the honored guest, the second lady's face turned down. She remembered that her son was still drunk. They came here just for Gu Xu's marriage, but they encountered such an impressive incident. I don't know if they would think that Gu Xu is a drunkard in his heart.

Thinking of this, the second wife, who originally thought that it was a trivial matter for Gu Xu to drink some saber wine, suddenly became angry and complained about Gu Yun and his buddies, and even scolded the two bastards in her heart. Once again, complaining about why they didn't stop those people from filling Gu Xu with wine, but didn't want to think about how two twelve or thirteen-year-old concubines could stop a table of concubine young masters. They both tried their best to carry Gu Xu back to the house.

Seeing that the second wife's face was not right, Jin Gan guessed that she might be cursing in her heart, but she had to ask for a certain sentence when she came here with this errand, if the second room didn't entertain herself, should the old lady come forward to entertain her, so as not to let her be in the mansion? Snubbed and slighted the first night.

The second lady's complexion changed a few times, Gu Wan and Gu Chan stepped up to persuade her, and then with a stiff complexion, Jin Gan asked Jin Gan to answer, thank you Mrs. Madam.

After hearing Jin Gan's reply, the eldest lady immediately sent someone to tell the housekeeper to invite the guests to Rong En Hall, and then sent another girl to the third room to say that the old lady will entertain foreign guests tonight, and the daughters-in-law do not need to wait on her.

The third lady came home yesterday and rested for the whole day today, so she specially asked her servants to tell her gossip about the latest situation in the mansion, knowing that Bai Kou injured the three old servants of the second sister-in-law, and also knowing that Gu Xu drank the saber yesterday She was too drunk, and now the girl in the long room said again that the old matriarch would be entertaining foreigners tonight, so she didn't need to be served by his daughters-in-law. She immediately figured out what was going on, and secretly laughed at Gu Xu this time It's miserable.

In the past, the third room was watched by others, but now it happened to watch the excitement of the always noble second room.

The marriages of the second wife's three legitimate children are all in sight. Gu Xu and Gu Wan will probably marry each other next year. The dowry and dowry are not small amounts. The room's flattery, otherwise why would she travel long distances to bring so much seafood back to Gu Yun? It's not because of the cost of Gu Jing's future marriage, and she has five concubine daughters under her knees, and the girls grew up one after another. Marriage age, if the public does not come to help, how can she have so much money to dowry the concubine daughter.

Now that there is no family separation, there is still some light to be had, but since he wants his daughter-in-law to come in and out through the main entrance of Duke Ye's mansion to earn face for himself, it is natural to coax the eldest house to be happy and make them happy.

But with this second sister-in-law's temperament, she may not be able to swallow this breath after so many things happened, and she doesn't know how she will toss about it, but it's a good show to watch.

At dinner time, in addition to the two dishes specified by the old lady, Bai Kou added another fried squid in sauce, fried steak and a thick seashell soup, and the East Kitchen sent over a lot of dishes, which were completely enough for entertaining guests.

Gu Yun went to Jicheng Hall to have dinner with his mother and younger brother at night. They both had a portion of squid and soup here and the third wife's, but there was no steak. It was supposed to embezzle Gu Yun's ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast, so he had to save some for him. .

In the warm pavilion of Rong En Hall, the old lady sat at the head seat, accompanied by the elder, and chatted with the guests about family matters. After the name was communicated, the elder immediately realized the background of the other party.

His second brother works in Pingzhou, Yanhe Prefecture. This future uncle Gan Yuwen comes from the eldest son of the local Gan family. His father is the current patriarch of the clan. He is the one who will marry Gu Xu. The ninth sister of my compatriot will turn seventeen next year, which is a good age to get married.

At the age of 27 or [-], Gan Yuwen was the second child in his own family. He was the second-class Jinshi in the last Chunwei period. Leaving Beijing to go home to observe filial piety, and now taking advantage of the opportunity of my younger sister getting married, I came to the capital again.

"Admired for a long time, the Gan family in Pingzhou can be said to be full of talents in the gentry and official circles. They are a distinguished family for generations and everyone admires them."

"Miao Zan, Miao Zan, it is also a great honor for this junior to be able to drink at the same table with Ye Guogong and the old lady at this moment."

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the elder still did not forget to apologize for his elder nephew, Gu Xu. The honored guest came from afar, but he, the right master, was too drunk to get out of bed.

"Young people like to mess around, and they don't know the power of saber wine. After drinking a few glasses of wine, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up until tomorrow. I'm really sorry."

"It doesn't matter, the younger generation has also studied in the capital for a few years, and knows that the school's annual leave is just these few days. It must be a holiday. Let's invite friends to relax and relax, and drink too much at once. Young This kind of thing often happens to people, and the juniors played better when they were studying." Gan Yuwen is very able to understand the problems of scholars and scholars.

"Thank you for your understanding, thank you, thank you."

"Grandpa Guo is too polite. If you continue to behave like this, this junior will be really embarrassed to sit here and eat wine."

"Okay, okay, you two sing together, why don't you have a good meal, the food is going to be cold."

The old lady let out a laugh, and told the two men not to communicate politely, and picked up chopsticks to eat.

Since Gan Yuwen has stayed in the capital for a few years, he is naturally familiar with the flavors of the dishes in the capital. He is used to eating exquisite delicacies, so he can naturally tell how many dishes on the table have slightly different tastes. The seashell thick soup in the cup was drunk to the last drop, and the soup tasted delicious.

The guests liked their own dishes, which naturally made the host smile, and the dinner ended happily.

After withdrawing from the table and putting on some tea, Gan Yuwen apologized and said goodbye to the old matriarch and the grand master, saying that before he left, he sent his family members to Beijing to clean up the Gan's other courtyard where he used to live, so tonight he He just had a rest in Ye State's mansion for one night, and he will move back to his own house tomorrow, so it's not good to be bothering in the mansion all the time during the Chinese New Year.

The old lady and the elder hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Gan Yuwen had a good reason. After all, the two families have not yet married, and he is still an outsider. Besides, there is another courtyard of his family in the capital, so there is really no reason to live in the Duke's mansion.

Speaking of this situation, the old lady and the great master are not good at forcing him to stay, they just told him to remember to bid farewell to the second wife tomorrow, after all he is Gu Xu's future in-laws, don't let her think that he is not good at hospitality.

Gan Yuwen repeatedly agreed, got up to leave, and the old matriarch asked the girl to light up the lantern and sent him to the guest room in the front yard.

The elder saw off the guests, and sat with his mother for a while, chatting about the Gan family in Pingzhou, both mother and son knew what the second room meant.
