Time flies, and the Dingyuan Hou Mansion will be in trouble early in the morning of September 16th. The mansion will be decorated with lights and decorations everywhere, making the final preparations for this banquet.

Gu Yanyi was lying in white clothes on the recliner reading a book. When he heard the sound of the sound coming from a distance, he couldn't help but frown.

"What are you doing early in the morning?"

Juxiang walked in with a basin, twisted the towel and put it in Gu Yan's hand and replied, "Today, uncle, no, it's time to call Mr. Hou Chengjue's eldest son. Mrs. Hou got up early in the morning, so it should be a ribbon at this time."

Mei Xiang came over and took the towel from Gu Yan and said, "No, I just went to the kitchen to get breakfast for the lady. I almost started fighting. People said that there was too much work today and I didn't have time to prepare breakfast for each room, so we could just give it to eat what was left of yesterday. Humph, I was so lazy that I got used to her temper. I came back with the food of the sixth girl in the big room. She still wanted to stop her, but when I saw Mo Xiang coming to pick me up, I didn't dare to give it up (far) and gave it to us with a smile."

Gu Yan glanced at Mei Xiang, "Well done, go to Mama Qiao's place to get a tael of silver."

Ma Dan dares not give her food, she is tired of working

Mei Xiang nodded happily, and quickly tied Gu Yan's bun, and then happily went out to find Madam Qiao.

Kikuka shook her head helplessly, "Miss, just spoil her. She is two years older than you, but she looks like a child. If this continues, she will suffer the day."

Gu Yan waved her hand indifferently, "I will not let her suffer a loss if I have me for a day. They are the youngest of you four. It's nothing to be lively, as long as you are pure in mind."

Juxiang sighed, "It's just the kindness of the lady. It's our blessing to be able to follow a master like Miss, and it's also Meixiang's blessing."

If Miss Six had changed, she would have sold her to Mei Xiang eight times a day.

Gu Yan smiled and said nothing, asking Juxiang to serve her to prepare for breakfast. As soon as she picked up the dishes, she heard a noise outside the yard.

Gu Yan frowned and signaled Shuxiang at the door to go out to see what was going on. In less than a moment, Shuxiang came in.

"Master, Miss Six is ​​here and is clamoring to see you outside the yard."

Gu Yan glanced at the breakfast on the table and sneered, "I'm here to make trouble, let her come in."

Shuxiang nodded and said yes, and turned around to invite Gu Rui.

Gu Rui was happy these days, thinking that she could finally compete with Gu Yan, and her status was no worse than Gu Yan. Unexpectedly, her father Chengjue's grand joy, Gu Yan actually dared to come to her for bad luck. Her meal was taken away by the maid next to her. It was really too bullying.

Gu Rui was so angry that she led a bunch of maids and women to Jingxin Pavilion. Tang had already learned about her arrival, but she did not come out. Instead, she was staring at her and told her to tell her when she returned home in a bad mood, so that she could be happy.

Gu Rui and his group let Tang stay in the yard, standing at the door of Gu Yan's Jingxin Pavilion, shouting and cursing, but regardless of the servants who were watching the hot noise in Baifang Garden, his roaring voice was comparable to that of the aunts in the vegetable market.

"Gu Yan, come out for me. You took my breakfast. Don't you know. You still have the face to eat. What to eat, you can eat to death. Can you still be more shameful? I am your sister. Is that how you treat me and I stand here and wait for you to finish your meal?"

Shuxiang frowned, opened the yard door and glanced at Gu Rui, "Miss Liu, please come in."

After saying that, Shu Xiangli ignored her and turned around and entered the yard.

Gu Rui couldn't believe what she saw. Shuxiang dared to ignore her. She walked back even if she didn't have any gifts. This was the maid trained by Gu Yan.

Gu Rui was about to scold Shuxiang, but suddenly thought of Shuxiang's performance in the Wu'an Hou Mansion competition. She immediately became silent, glared at Shuxiang's back and frowned and entered Gu Yan's Jingxin Pavilion.

Maybe she was wrong today. She forgot that Gu Yan knew how to fight, and even more forgot that Shuxiang and Moxiang, two girls next to her, could destroy everyone here by picking up one. If they take action, then she would be useless even if someone beats her. No one in the mansion could suppress them, and she would not be able to fight back.

Gu Rui's mind was not in vain for a moment, and suddenly she thought of the consequences of her angering Gu Yan. She forced herself to suppress her anger and stepped into Jingxin Pavilion.

After entering Jingxin Pavilion, Gu Rui's heart was uneasy again.

Various precious flowers bloomed in the garden this morning, and the whole garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The colorful flowers of various colors were planted in round shapes, asters, ink chrysanthemums, green hibiscus, phalaenopsis, begonia, and begonia, and a row of jasmine close to the window, radiating a charming fragrance.

Damn why does she have so many precious flowers in her yard? How can she have a concubine's son and a legitimate daughter? She doesn't have any legitimate daughter? Why can she have it?

Gu Rui stood in the yard and looked down at the flowers in the garden. With just a few glances, she recognized several kinds of flowers that were priceless and unmarked. She planted them in a mess with other flowers like ordinary flowers and plants, covering an empty space in the middle in a circular shape.

Gu Rui took a deep breath, no longer looking at the flowers that made her feel distressed, and led by Shuxiang to enter the side hall where Gu Yanzhao was waiting for guests.

"Miss Six, wait a moment, Miss is having a meal."

After Shuxiang said that, he signaled the little girl next to him to serve tea for Gu Rui, and walked out of the hall alone, leaving Gu Rui here.

Seeing that she left like this, Gu Rui almost couldn't hold back her scolding, forcibly suppressing her anger and sat on the chair and stopped talking.

Okay, Gu Yan, you are so good. You dare to leave me here and wait for me.

Gu Rui made up her mind to wait for Gu Yan to come out and deal with her. But when she thought that her martial arts were not as good as her, she was a little discouraged. When she looked up at the flowers in the yard, she suddenly had an idea.

Gu Yan, if you can grab my breakfast, I will destroy your famous flowers in the garden.

Gu Rui sat in the side hall until Gu Yan finished her breakfast. When Gu Yan's shadow appeared, Gu Rui immediately stood up and took two steps to Gu Yan, pointing at Gu Yan and said angrily, "Gu Yan, why did you ask your maid to take my breakfast, don't you know I haven't eaten breakfast yet?"

Gu Yan glanced at her coldly, "Sister Six said this, I want to ask you, the ladies born in each house in the mansion have the same food, four staple foods, two porridges, and four side dishes, but I ate more this morning, and doubled them. There is also a tweed fungus soup. I don't know what the sixth sister has to explain."

Gu Rui was deflated when she heard this, and she no longer looked arrogant as before. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she did not dare to look at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan didn't (love ai) took care of her, walked to the seat, settled her cuffs, and continued, "Is there anything else to do with Sister Six?"

Gu Rui gritted her teeth, "No, it's okay, I'll eat it. I have to go back and clean up. The ladies of each province will arrive later, and I have to go out to entertain you."

Gu Yan nodded, "Let's go slowly and don't send me off."

Gu Yan said she would not deliver her, but she didn't even stand up. She stared at Gu Rui and waited for her to leave.

Gu Rui resisted the urge to curse her mother and smiled slightly at Gu Yan, then turned around and left without stopping.

Gu Yan rolled her eyes and got up and went back to the room.

Gu Rui, who walked out of Jingxin Pavilion, heard the sound of closing the door impatiently and looked back at the plaque at the gate of the courtyard and clenched her fists. She was so angry that she could lit her.

She waited for half an hour with her hungry stomach, but what she was waiting for was her threat. It was less than half a cup of tea from Gu Yan entering the side hall to her departure. She escaped in shame. It was so cowardly.

"Gu Yan, wait for me."

Gu Rui whispered a harsh word and turned around and left. Mei Xiang, who had been standing behind the door holding her shoulders, curled her lips and ran to Gu Yan happily to report.

"Miss Six said, let Miss, wait, Miss, she won't make any bad things, right?"

Gu Yan followed Mama Qiao to practice walking posture, and absent-mindedly said "hmm", which was her answer.

Mei Xiang held her chin and watched Gu Yan walk, and continued to ask, "Miss, you said, how would she harm you?"

"Follow her."

No matter what she does, she continues. She is confident that she can take on all her assassinations. If she is a dignified "Blood Phoenix", she can't even deal with an ancient inner-house woman, and she will be a legend in the killer world.

"Miss, this is not OK. I'll follow her. What should you do if she ruins your reputation?

“Can it be worse?”

"Miss' reputation is not very good now, but it's not as good as everyone is calling for it. This sixth lady is obviously full of bad water, so she can't succeed."

"It doesn't matter, just a group of jumping clowns."

"Oh, if I knew what she was thinking, we could be more careful."

"The tricks that harm people in the inner house are just a few. You can tell what she wants to do after deducing it."

Mei Xiang nodded and was about to speak, but Madam Qiao glared back.

"If you talk too much, go to sweep the yard if you say more."

Mei Xiang was most afraid of Madam Qiao. When she heard her words, she didn't bother to ask Gu Yan anymore, so she quickly got up and left.

Gu Yan glanced at her back with a squinted eye and walked slowly to Madam Qiao, and gave a gift, "Don't be too restrictive of her, be more lively."

In addition to Mei Xiang, the people in this yard are colder than the other. Even the new group of servants know what kind of person the master of the yard is. They are afraid that Gu Yan, who is so quarreling, is still the first one. They are proud of Gu Yan, a young talent in the capital and the most famous fourth young master. They always feel that being able to serve Gu Yan is their blessing. They usually learn from her unconsciously, and they do more and say less. Therefore, there is no movement in the yard, so Mei Xiang can chatter and say a few words.

Madam Qiao shook her head in disagreement, "Miss, please spoil her. Juxiang is right. Stop spoiling her. She will have to marry with the lady in the future. If she still does this, it won't work. She will cause trouble for the lady."

"No defense, I will protect her."

Madam Qiao stopped talking and sighed.

"No wonder Juxiang envies Meixiang, and even the old slave envies Miss for treating her like this."

"The same goes for you. As long as you don't betray me, I Ichigo will go to the end."

Madam Qiao smiled and bowed to Gu Yan, "Thank you, Miss. The lady just did a good job of blessings. You must remember that the courtesy discussions are rigorous, and the blessings are larger, which is different from our usual ones. Miss, please do it again."

Gu Yan nodded and gave a blessing to Madam Qiao again.

Madam Qiao taught me carefully and Gu Yan learned it seriously. After a few times, Gu Yan had almost mastered it, and Gu Huai Chengjue's banquet before was about to begin.

Yu waited for a long time but didn't see Tang's passing, let alone Gu Yan and Gu Zhehan's brother and sister, and his face suddenly became not very good-looking.

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to wait anymore. The second sister-in-law is not in good health, the princess is full again, and the person is almost there. Let's start, so let's not let people laugh."

The little Qu family leaned into Yu's ear and whispered a few words, and Yu's face looked a little better.

"Okay, I won't wait for them anymore, I can't point it anyway."

Fortunately, the little Qu helped her in the hospitality service, otherwise she would have been too busy today. The Tang family (body) body was like that, and she couldn't even use her. She had to sit here like an old man and let her serve her, which would be more than worth the loss.

The banquet started soon after the instructions of Yu and Gu Huai. Yu accompanied the wives of the imperial decree in the court to eat and drink. Although they wanted to meet Gu Yan and Tang, they would not ask Yu if they didn't come. They were afraid that she would be angry, so they could only pretend to be stupid and pretend that Gu An's family did not exist.

Gu Huai also brought two legitimate sons to entertain guests in the front yard. They were all nobles and officials from various departments, and were important officials in the court. They knew that Gu An was in the Beidaying, and Gu Zhehan was not at home. At this time, he was still on duty in the palace. Because some people did not ask why Gu An and Gu Zhehan did not appear, only Gu Rui slipped to the vicinity of Baifangyuan after dinner with the ladies.

"The most beautiful places in our waiting mansion are not the back garden and lotus pond, but the Baifang Garden where my second uncle and second aunt live. There are all kinds of precious flowers and plants blooming in Baifang Garden, which my mother packed before my second uncle and his family came back. Unfortunately, if the second uncle and the others are not here, I can still take you to see it. Now, I can't go there anymore. My ninth sister doesn't like the noise, and my second aunt is not in good health. If it goes there, it will affect their rest."

"Isn't it just to see the flowers? Where can it affect?"

A sister in a light blue dress rolled her eyes disdainfully, looked at Gu Rui and said, "If you don't want us to go, just say it, why are there so many excuses?"

Gu Rui seemed anxious and quickly explained, "I didn't say nonsense, it's true. There are few people in the yard of Jiu Sister who dare to make noise. Jiu Sister would be unhappy. She was so angry, let's go to another place. This place is so close to Baifang Garden, it will affect her rest."

When the girl in the light blue robe dress saw that Gu Rui was embarrassed, she no longer said she would go to Baifangyuan, but her impression of Gu Yan was a little bit bad.

It’s really domineering to dominate so many flowers and plants.

"Forget it, I won't watch it if I don't watch it. Miss Gu is so fun, how boring it is to just stand here."

Several ladies were afraid that the atmosphere would be awkward, so they stopped pursuing the girl who was talking and changed the subject according to her words.

"Yes, yes, what's there to play with?"

"Can you throw a pot into a pot?"

"Although September is very hot, I'm still sweating, so I'd better play something else."

"That poem"

"I write poems every time, is there any more?"

"What else can we play with poetry, painting, and throwing pots every time we play, what else can we play with?"
