Chapter 72
"Master Xiang..." The old butler was surprised that Master Xiang would say such a thing, and Miss Gu's like that...you can't be called sensible!
Li Yi looked at the surprised look of the old housekeeper, and said inexplicably: "You will gradually understand, perhaps, among all my juniors, Qingyuan is the most outstanding one."

This sentence really shocked the old housekeeper, all the juniors, including the uncle, the eldest son and the others?This... This really makes me unbelievable, what did Miss Gu talk to Xiang Ye, so that Xiang Ye, who has never been easy to praise others, made such a high evaluation of her.

Li Zhi walked into the study, and there were only two people in the study, his grandfather and the old housekeeper, "Grandfather."

"Well! But the banquet is about to begin?"

"Yes, so my father asked me to invite my grandfather over."

Li Yi nodded, "Let's go!"

"Yes." Li Zhi followed behind Li Yi in an orderly manner, and after a while of silence, "Grandfather, Qingyuan didn't make you angry, did she?"

After hearing this, Li Yi stopped, looked back at Li Zhi, and frowned.

Seeing this, Li Zhi was a little uneasy and said, "What... what's wrong, grandfather?"

"Qingyuan, she didn't make me angry, but you are a boy, how can you talk so fast, you are not as sharp as a girl in Qingyuan."

"Ah..." Li Zhi didn't react to Li Yi's words for a while, but Li Yi had strode away.

On the contrary, the old butler understood Li Zhi's reaction very well, and walked up to him, "Young master, let's go!"

"Butler, butler." Li Zhi grabbed the old butler and said in surprise, "Just now, did grandfather say... that I'm not as good as Qingyuan?"

"It seems to be." Although the old housekeeper couldn't bear to hit the eldest son, he still replied honestly.

"It seems that I heard correctly." Li Zhi said scratching his head, "However, why am I not as good as Qing'er?"

"This... this old slave doesn't know either."

"However, if this is the case, grandfather is praising Qingyuan! It's really unexpected."

Seeing Li Zhi's unexpected look, the old housekeeper shook his head, there were more unexpected things than this.

"Eldest son, let's go there quickly! Master Xiang has gone far away."

"Oh! Good." In fact, Li Zhi was still a little confused in his heart. Is he not as good as Gu Qingyuan?Where did grandfather draw his conclusions from?
As soon as Gu Qingyuan and the others arrived at the banquet, they saw a young girl walking over happily. Before she could see who it was, Gu Wuxia greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Sister Lin'er, why did you come here?"

"Father has something to do today, so we came late."

Listening to their conversation and Gu Wuxia's address to her, Gu Qingyuan remembered that this Lin'er was the niece of the second aunt, that is, her brother's daughter, and Gu Wuxia's real cousin.

"Lin'er met Miss Li, Miss Hong, Miss Liu..."

As soon as she said a few words, all the ladies laughed, and Li Xue said with a smile: "Okay, Miss Liu, are you going to greet each of them one by one?"

"Of course, I haven't seen you sisters for a long time, so I have to greet you anyway."

"Hehe, after you finish greeting, this banquet will become your greeting banquet." One of the young ladies teased.

"Oh! If that's the case, wouldn't I be too rude." Liner said embarrassedly after hearing the words.

Lin'er was delicate and naive, and her innocent appearance made all the young ladies laugh.

"Miss Liu is still so cute."

"Yes! We know what you mean, so! We don't need to greet you one by one, and we won't blame you."

"Hee hee, then Lin'er met all the sisters and sisters here." Lin'er smiled and leaned over slightly.

Seeing this, the ladies smiled and walked over, helped her up, hugged her and talked.

Gu Qingyuan stood aside, looking at Liu Lin'er, who had become the central figure, with a faint smile on her lips, watching her sometimes playful, sometimes surprised, and sometimes responding stupidly to the ladies' words, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, this Miss Lin'er, she is really likable!

Compared with the people present, her father's official status is not high, but she can get along with all the young ladies so warmly, which shows that she is not generally lovable!

Liu Lin'er is very popular, and even her cousin Gu Wuxia quickly chatted with them. In fact, Gu Wuxia wanted to have someone she knew was present, but there are too many noble people today, so that, as a concubine, she He was ignored by everyone. After all, it is not admirable to be close to a concubine. However, now that the lovely Lin'er has come, Gu Wuxia is also regarded as Lin'er's cousin. , was quickly accepted by everyone, people, it's so strange.

Gu Yun'er looked at Gu Wuxia who was surrounded in the center, her nails pierced deeply into the flesh of the palm of her hand, both are concubine girls, is this the difference?As long as there is someone behind you, even if you are a concubine, you can attract so much attention, isn't it?Just like the second aunt, although she has the same identity as the aunt, she can live so well in the Gu family, isn't it all because she has someone to rely on behind her?

So, does it mean that it doesn't matter who you are now, as long as you find a capable person to back you up?Gu Yun'er thought, a strange enthusiasm flashed in her eyes.

And Gu Yun'er's strange eyes just happened to be seen by Gu Qingyuan, her brows frowned, did the silent lamb start to resist?
"Oh! My ladies, why are you still here!" Madam Hu hurried over, looking at the enthusiastic ladies who were talking.

"What's wrong with Hu Nanny?" Li Xue frowned when she saw Hu Nanny rushing.

"Miss, Mr. Xiang has already arrived, but the ladies have not come here for a long time. Madam is very worried. Do you think something happened?"

"Grandfather has already passed? Then let's go there quickly."

at the banquet

Li Yi sat in the main seat, looked at the people below who came to celebrate his birthday, raised his glass, and stood up, "Today is my birthday, Li will give you a toast first, thank you all for coming here for this old man in your busy schedule." After finishing speaking Dried a glass.

Seeing this, everyone got up one after another, took out their glasses, "Old Minister, you are welcome." After speaking, they also drank in one gulp.

"Please sit down, everyone. Please forgive me if there is any inappropriate greeting."

"Master Xiang, before the banquet, can we take a look at the birthday gifts contributed by the juniors!"

"Well, follow the rules!"

There is an unknown rule in Haoyue, that is, on the day of the old man's birthday, the juniors in the family must present their birthday gifts one by one in the presence of the guests. It is said that it is to witness the sincerity of the juniors. It is also to show whether the old man is a blessed person, so many juniors will rack their brains to prepare a birthday gift on the day of the old man's birthday banquet, just to gain a good reputation, and many old people are happy to see it succeed .
