Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Gu Ping's face turned blue and pale.

He came to the master of the Bo Mansion to talk because he couldn't win against Wu Yan. The master was a country bumpkin, what did he know? But he thought this man would be frightened by the word "imperial gift"...

Gu Xu held back his laughter.

Gu Yue saw that this person was really embarrassed standing in the hall, so he said, "You go down first."

Gu Ping did not leave immediately.

Gu Yue asked, "What's the matter, brother bestowed by the emperor, do you want me to carry you down?"

"...I'll take my leave now." Gu Ping said aggrievedly and turned to leave.

Wu Yan had just finished his work outside and walked into the hall: "Master, the inventory has been completed."

Gu Xu said: "Let our people prepare for the evening banquet first, and gather the remaining people sent by the palace and bring them to the backyard for us to meet them."

"Yes." Wu Yan said.

Gu Yue nodded: "Yes, there must be spies of the prince and others among those people. It is safer to send our own people."

Gu Xu smiled and said, "That's right."

……

The three courtyards are very beautifully maintained. Although it is autumn, there is not a single fallen leaf in the courtyard, and it does not look desolate. The flowers in the courtyard are all newly planted, and there are several pots of precious chrysanthemums.

The furniture was also complete, except for some soft furnishings. The master courtyard was located in the middle of a bamboo forest, with a small hall with four sides for viewing the scenery, and a study. Gu Yue was very satisfied.

Unfortunately, although I have the title deed, it is not my house.

Gu Yue was full of resistance to the identity of Earl.

Seeing the servants sent over, Gu Xu announced Wu Yan's identity as the chief butler in public. Wu Yan scolded them verbally and then let them go. There were too many things to do today.

There were eight leaders among the fifty servants, with Gu Ping being the first. The rest were named in the order of "Peace and harmony, ten thousand persimmons and prosperity" and given the surname Gu. Gu Yue could see that Gu Ping and Gu An were probably familiar with each other and did not give much respect to Wu Yan; the others behind them, such as Gu and Gu Shun, were relatively obedient.

Maybe they are playing the good cop and the bad cop, so it is not easy to determine their camp.

Thirty maids, all of them beautiful, Gu Yue deeply suspected that this was some kind of beauty trap, to seduce Dun Xinbo and bring him down. Otherwise, why would they deliberately choose girls with good looks? Those who are ordinary-looking are not without hands and feet.

After going through this whole process, Gu Yue had nothing to do. He hid in the study and took the opportunity to write a manuscript for a while, and then he was notified: It was almost evening and the people who were going to the housewarming party had arrived.

He had to come out to greet them.

The party was held in the backyard garden.

There weren't many people coming, but it was a grand occasion. In addition to the fourth prince, Qin Zhaoyue, Qin Zhaole, Qin Zhaoning, and Qin Zhaochen all came with gifts; Old Master Su brought the three eldest sons of the Su family, as well as Su Yingjian and his brothers; and there were also several officials that Gu Yue didn't know.

The Mu family naturally did not arrive.

Jing Cun was sent by the Jing family. He came with the crown prince. There were also historian Lord Lin, military commander Xiao Jingzhi, and Minister of Personnel Xu Anxing, etc.

Gu Yue got a headache from remembering so many people.

But it was just as Gu Xu said, the whole housewarming party was not a grand affair, most of the people present were family members, and few people asked any difficult questions. Even if there were, Gu Xu and Gu Yue did not need to find ways to deal with them, because Old Tutor Su would spray back the questions as soon as he opened his mouth, and his intention to protect them was evident in his words.

The banquet was not even halfway through, but the atmosphere was already peaceful and harmonious, without any trace of intrigue.

Gu Yue could also see that the third branch of the Su family and the old Su Taifu were protecting them (only Gu Xu); Qin Zhaoyue spoke tactfully. Qin Zhaole only cared about eating, and Qin Zhaoning was absent-minded, as if he had something on his mind. Qin Zhaochen also had a protective tone in his words, but it was not obvious.

As for the rest, General Xiao was straightforward, while the first and second branches of the Su family seemed to have some reservations and said nothing. Jingcun and they were old acquaintances, so there was nothing against them; Lord Lin was also one of their own.

Xu Anxing... Gu Yue had an impression of this person. He seemed to be King Yin's man, but on the surface, he had joined the Mu family.

As for the remaining people, Gu Yue had a headache just remembering their names. He just waited until the banquet was over and went back to ask Gu Xu.

Gu Yue listened carefully to their every conversation, trying to figure out the meaning and whether there was any secret code. He had to prepare for the grand banquet in the palace in a few days.

As they chatted, the topic turned to their respective wives.

“Brother Lin, what you said is really bad!” Xiao Jingzhi drank the wine, his cheeks flushed, and he said loudly: “Although my wife is fierce, she is a rare female general in Beiqin! She is not bad in martial arts, and she manages the family very well!”

"You talk like someone's wife doesn't know how to manage the household!" someone said. This guy seemed to be the young general who went to Ganzhou together.

"My wife is an amazing archer. Even I can't compare to her. What about your wife?" Xiao Jingzhi said.

"My wife is an expert in math and she's also good at business." The young general was not willing to be outdone.

Xiao Jingzhi was depressed.

Xu Anxing suddenly said, "Speaking of the wives of various families, I heard that Lord Dunxin has not married yet?"

Gu Yue was surprised when he heard the topic suddenly turn to himself: "Haha, yes."

"I heard two days ago that the new garden of the Earl's Mansion is very beautiful. My wife wanted to come and have a look, but she didn't expect that the Earl has not married yet, so it is not convenient for her and her daughter to come." An official named Lu said with a smile.

"I wonder if Lord Dunxin has arrived and is now established?" Xu Anxing asked with concern.

"Never." Gu Yue spoke briefly, afraid of saying something wrong.

Damn, what a bunch of gossips, why do you care whether other people are married or not?

"It would not be good if I delayed my marriage in order to raise my young master," Xu Anxing said with a smile.

Not beautiful, oh my god!

Gu Yue had a grin on his face.

"Speaking of marriage, Master Gu is already 18 years old and should have gotten married a long time ago. There is no mistress in his family, and he has even neglected the marriage of his children." Xiao Jingzhi said naturally.

He also asked the old Taifu Su: "Taifu, you are also the grandfather of my young uncle, why don't you help me find some families? When I was eighteen, my eldest son was already one year old."

Old Master Su stroked his beard and frowned.

Gu Yue wanted to laugh it off, but he didn't know what Gu Xu was thinking, so he subconsciously looked over.

Gu Xu's face was calm and he showed no emotion.

"Master, what do you think?" Old Master Su asked, "After all, you are Xiao Xu's adoptive father now, so it's time to put this matter on the agenda."

"The uncle must get married first before we can marry the young uncle." Xu Anxing said.

"Hahaha, it's a beautiful thing that a father and son get married on the same day. It's a double happiness!" Lord Lu said with a smile.

Gu Yue: Is Wu Yan here? Go and put Hedinghong in their wine!

Qin Zhaoyue also said: "This matter really cannot be neglected."

He smiled and asked Gu Yue: "If Lord Dunxin has a girl he likes, I can be a matchmaker and help you make a proposal."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Yue.

Gu Yue: Can we poison the wine of these people? Urgent, waiting online!
