Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 7

Gu Yanqing is not angry at Gu Changxi at all, because of the previous grievances, he has already suppressed his anger, "Also, Yanqing and Changyan are both children of the Gu family, if the eldest sister thinks that my brother and sister are 'eating idle food' in the Gu family, Then Yanqing immediately went to report to his father to separate Yanqing and Changyan. From then on, we will never see each other again."

Gu Changxi stared, she didn't expect the third brother who couldn't kick a fart to be so eloquent this day.Instead, it was Gu Changyan, who she disliked the most, standing obediently behind Gu Yanqing at this moment, with no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was holding back.But what I just said in a moment of mouth addiction is also true, and it really spreads to the ears of Gu Zheng and the old lady, and she still doesn't know how much she will suffer.

She has been punished several times because of repenting her marriage, and in her father's eyes, she is already a troublesome person. If she really despises herself, wouldn't that mean that the government will be taken advantage of by others?Gu Changyu is used to currying favor with elders, and Gu Yanya is a good student who studies well... Thinking of this, she felt a chill run down her spine.

"You...you...wait and see." I don't know if I was really intimidated by Gu Yanqing, or if I was a little afraid of Gu Changyan's calm appearance, Gu Changxi finally left angrily.Originally, the purpose of this trip was to pull people's heads to stand on my side, but in the end, I went back with a full stomach.

After waiting for people to leave, Gu Yanqing held Gu Changyan's hand to comfort him, but Gu Changyan patted the back of his hand instead, and said to Xi'er who was on the side: "On the day of the autumn banquet at the Princess Mansion, the eldest sister changed her dress halfway through. , I don’t know the reason, but if it’s because you met someone you shouldn’t meet, it’s not right, after all, our daughter is not married yet, and there are quite a few girls in the clan.”

Xi'er was slightly taken aback, but soon understood what Miss meant...

At noon the next day, Xi'er walked into the study, "Miss, the master ordered people to arrest Miss Qiuyan's maids, mothers-in-law and coachmen at home for interrogation. The people in Changle Court said that Miss is ill."

The corners of Gu Changyan's mouth turned up slightly, "I didn't bother to do such a thing, but she insisted on provoking me." Although Gu Changyan had no one and no money, it was still possible to teach Gu Changxi a little lesson.

"Miss, this servant has also received news that the old lady will arrive on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month." Xi'er looked at her young lady cautiously.

"Got it, go ahead." Gu Changyan didn't feel anything.

After going through the turmoil of surrogate marriage and parents' reconciliation, the two brothers and sisters have never been clearer about their situation.The old lady was born in the An family, and based on this alone, Gu Yanqing and Gu Changyan's brother and sister will never be able to compete with Gu Yanyun and Gu Changxi.So why bother to put a hot face on a cold butt, as long as the old lady doesn't deliberately make things difficult for their brothers and sisters, she doesn't mind maintaining this weak grandparent-grandson relationship on the face of it.

For the fourth prince's birthday banquet, all the children of Liang Guogong's family were invited. Gu Zheng didn't want Gu Changxi to go, but he didn't want to lose face because of the post made by the princess himself.After all, today is different from the past, Gu Changxi is no longer the fiancée of the fourth prince, and even if she marries into a noble family in the future, she will not be able to offend the royal family.It's just that Gu Changxi's temperament is causing him a lot of headaches now, and he regrets entrusting her to Aunt An when he was young.

It has been decided that Gu Changyu will be recorded in the late wife's name, and the family has nothing to say, just wait for the old lady to return to Beijing and choose a date to open the ancestral hall.In this regard, Aunt An is open-minded. Although a daughter is important, it still belongs to someone else. Only a son can provide for her until the end of her life. Besides, if Gu Changyu marries well, she will not forget her biological mother. No matter how you calculate this deal, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages .After Gu Changyu's marriage was settled, she still wanted to work hard to have a son by her side.

Gu Changyu was instructed by his aunt to get along well with Gu Changyan, even though the fourth prince is disabled, but the prince is a prince, and the daughters of this family will not be able to surpass Gu Changyan in terms of status in the future.As for Gu Changxi, even though Aunt An brought her up, she didn't have any hope for her. From the fact that she was recorded in the name of the first wife, it can be seen that Aunt An has been serving her for nothing all these years.

However, Gu Changyan and Gu Yanqing were in the same carriage today, and Gu Changyu had no chance to mend their relationship.

Prince Rui's mansion is much more simple than Jinyang Princess' mansion, because it has been raining in autumn for the past few days, and the banquet is in the middle of the day, the gray sky and the lifeless pavilions inevitably make people lose some interest.

Gu Changyan still stayed with the girls, listening to them talk about the trivial matters of the boudoir, it was very hypnotizing.Suddenly a fleshy hand reached out to the plate in front of her and quietly picked up a piece of dessert.Gu Changyan looked up, and saw a fleshy girl covering her mouth. The other party also spotted her, and they looked at each other awkwardly.

There is a forest in Prince Rui's Mansion, and in the late autumn season, the colorful fallen leaves in the forest can be regarded as a scene, and the girls are placed on the viewing tower of the forest today.There was a lot of food here, but everyone didn't move much because they were preparing for the banquet.Gu Changyan guessed that the little chubby girl must be hungry, and seeing that everyone didn't seem to want to eat, she shouldn't be careless.

She thought for a while, picked up a piece of shortbread from the plate, and ate it in public.With someone to accompany her, the little chubby girl is free to sit down beside Gu Changyan, happily taking snacks.

"My name is Weng Qimin, and Weng Zhaofeng, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is my father." The little fat girl said naively.

"My name is Gu Changyan, and I am..."

"I know you, the third lady of Liang Guogong's mansion, I am one year older than you, from now on I will call you third sister Gu, okay?"

"Okay." Gu Changyan returned her sweet smile.

The girls were admiring the autumn scenery on the viewing tower, while the sons, led by the fourth prince's aide, Shen Jingduo, set up a table in the woods to eat wine and tea, recite poems, gossip and gossip about everything.Occasionally, a few young boys would appear near the observation tower, and they would be whispered by the girls.

"Sister Gu, let's go down and play too." Weng Qimin hiccupped while covering his mouth.

There was still some time left before the banquet, Gu Changyan thought that he would be with him anyway, so he agreed to the other party's proposal.After they went downstairs, noble ladies followed in pairs and left one after another.

There was sporadic light rain in the sky, and Weng Qimin stepped on the thick fallen leaves, listening to the sound of clicking, laughing heartlessly and very cutely.Gu Changyan thought of his cat and was easily satisfied.A group of people just went to the depths of the forest while playing.

Gu Changyu also saw them, but he didn't approach them. The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment had a son and a daughter, both younger than her.And Weng Qimin is a greedy mouth, Gu Changyu was really worried about being made fat.After finding various reasons for herself, she stopped paying too much attention to Gu Changyan.

It's just that she was absent-minded for a moment, but she fell into Gu Changxi's eyes.

"Is the third sister Gu twins?" Weng Qimin collected a few complete big dead leaves.

"Yes." It was cold, but I was sweating a little after walking for a while.

The two chatted without saying a word. Weng Qimin picked up the leaves for a while, and looked up to see if there were any fruits on the tree.Before I knew it, I came to the edge of the forest, where there was a man-made ornamental canal.The breeze with rain stars blowing from the water surface, the coldness is quite refreshing.

A group of people walked back slowly along the green brick path beside the viewing canal.

The painting boat docked on the shore opened a window, and the sleepy-eyed young man looked at the small figure going away, curled his lips, as if he was dissatisfied with being disturbed.Next to him are two young boys who are painting, but they are still focused.

"My lords, it's almost there." The servant of Prince Rui's residence cautiously reminded.

Gu Changyan and Weng Qimin returned to the viewing platform. At this time, there were only a few noble ladies on the top. The palace lady who had been serving on the top saw that their shoes were stained with mud, so she thoughtfully asked them if they wanted to change their clothes. Nodding, the female officer asked them to follow her to the wing room to rest.Gu Changyan was cautious, she didn't change her clothes, she just changed a pair of shoes, and asked the maid to put them away carefully.Seeing this, Weng Qimin also gave up the plan to re-comb his hair and change his clothes, and only let Haitang take clean shoes and socks.Before going out, Gu Changyan also ordered someone to check the wing room carefully, so as not to leave anything behind.

The female official didn't wait long outside the door, and when she saw the two people coming out, she said that the prince, concubine and several princes had arrived at the banquet, and now she will lead them there.

"Third Sister Gu, don't be nervous, the Fourth Prince is very talkative." Seeing Gu Changyan in a daze, Weng Qimin thought it was the first time she saw her fiancé, so she was a little restrained.

Gu Changyan was baffled, but he didn't explain it. Let's just pretend that she was uncomfortable. After all, she was going to see her fiancé soon, and it was inappropriate for her to appear too calm.As for why she was in a daze just now, because she always felt that the birthday banquet was weird, and all she saw during this half day were young ladies and noble sons, and none of the royal family was seen.Is it another arrangement?
The banquet hall of Prince Rui's Mansion is quite standard, not as exquisite and ostentatious as Princess Jinyang's Mansion, some are just majestic and grand, as if they were built according to regulations.Gu Changyan sighed inwardly, the difference between the two clearly explained the disparity in the status of the prince and the princess.patriarchal society...

At the end of the banquet hall, there are two low steps in the middle. There are three seats on the top, where the prince, concubine, and the fourth prince are seated. On the bottom, there are six seats on the sides. The third prince Zhao Yansui, the fifth prince Zhao Yanxia, ​​and the seventh prince are seated. Zhao Yanjin, Eighth Prince Zhao Yanqin, and other positions are vacant.These princes did not seem to have any female relatives.

Hearing Weng Qimin's whispered suggestion, Gu Changyan finally had some understanding of the children of the royal family today.There were a lot of guests coming in at this time, and everyone wanted to stand at the front. Seeing that Gu Changyan had no intention of arguing, Weng Qimin accompanied her to the back of the crowd, and then led by the female officer to salute the princes.

During the whole process, only the prince and princess were laughing, while the other princes looked calm and held their identities.However, Gu Changyan thinks that the royal rules are good. When the host hosts a banquet, the host will sit in the seat honestly and wait for the guests to be seated. It is not like in some places where the guests wait for a long time before the host puts on a big battle and is late.

But soon Gu Changyan became embarrassed. She was placed in a particularly front position. When she looked up, she saw the third and eighth princes diagonally opposite, and the fifth and seventh princes on the same side. Weng Qimin was separated from her. With a long distance.Both Nanny Zhou and Xi'er were not allowed to serve with them. They could only stand at the back against the wall, together with the servants brought by other people, and only stepped forward to serve when necessary.

According to regulations, unmarried men and women have a banquet at the same place, and they should be blocked symbolically by screens or curtains, but today there are singers, dancers, and juggling troupes to add to the fun, if they are blocked, they will not be able to see clearly. , a special case has been made, and it will not be blocked today.

Sitting next to Gu Changyan was Zhaofeng County Mistress of the Prince's Mansion of Sunan County. She was discussing this matter with the daughter of the Hou Mansion in a low voice.Gu Changyan drank tea while listening, when she saw another group of kneeling worshipers came, all of them men, she lowered her head.It's not that she doesn't want to look at Mrs. Fresh Meat, but that she can't. Her fiancé will sit on top. If she stares at other men blatantly, it will be causing trouble for herself.One must know that she didn't even see clearly what the fourth prince Zhao Yanran looked like, but only knew that he was sitting in a wooden wheelchair at the moment.

Gu Yanqing came in with this group of young masters, also standing in the middle and back position, while walking earlier, he glanced at the female guest's position from the corner of his eye, and caught a glimpse of his sister, who was sitting there obediently drinking tea, feeling at ease immediately.When he came here earlier, he overheard someone saying that something happened to Miss Gu's family. He was worried that his sister would suffer, and he couldn't inquire about such things in the palace, so he could only bite the bullet and wait patiently.

Zhao Yanran's eyes shifted slightly, and he glanced at the small figure on the lower left, because he couldn't see the real face because the other party's head was lowered, but the performance just now really didn't interest him.This submissive woman has no meaning at all.Soon he turned his gaze to an empty position, and his cold face softened slightly.

The Crown Princess has been sizing up this little uncle inadvertently. It is not difficult to see what the other person means by his appearance. He is looking forward to that person.

"A Rou, go and see if Wan Qing and the others are here?" The voice was not too loud, and it happened to reach the ears of several people nearby.

The female officer bowed slightly and left to look for someone.

However, when the crown princess said this, the county magistrate Zhaofeng next to Gu Changyan paused for a moment, but when he wanted to say something, he choked back because of Gu Changyan's presence.Gu Changyan didn't know what it meant, but he just didn't care.She just wants to eat and drink enough to go home and sleep.Seeing that people were taking their seats one after another, she complained a little in her heart, why the table hadn't started yet.

After another cup of tea, the female officer named Ah Rou led several young ladies in to salute. Gu Changyan saw that his eldest sister and second sister were among them. It was very ugly, and I couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, and moved my eyes to Gu Yanqing's position.Sitting together with Gu Yanya, Gu Yanqing and Gu Yanya both shook their heads slightly at her, implying that it was inconvenient for her not to investigate.Seeing that they were all calm and composed, Gu Changyan calmed down and waited patiently.

"That's Zhang Wanqing from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"

"It's her. I heard that she just came back from Mount Wutai two days ago. On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Prime Minister's Mansion is going to be grand."

Men can’t look casually, so it doesn’t matter if you look at women, Gu Changyan slowly moved his eyes following the words of Zhaofeng County Lord and Miss Hou’s Mansion. Among the female guests who were about to take their seats, there was one with delicate makeup and a dazzling red dress, The girl with a gorgeous smile must be the Zhang Wanqing they are talking about.Gu Changyan used to think that Gu Changxi was good-looking among ladies of the same age, but now seeing Zhang Wanqing, he suddenly felt that the addition of temperament is so important.
