After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad
Chapter 216: Someone comes to give gifts again?
The Prince of Jiguo suffered a great loss at the hands of his lady and lost face, so he couldn't help but vent his anger on Gu Nanxi.
If Gu Nanxi hadn't set a bad example, how could his gentle and virtuous wife have become so aggressive now?
Prince Jiguogong didn't want to go back and face his crying concubine, nor did he want to argue with his wife, so he wandered around Kyoto alone.
People were coming and going in the city. The Prince of Jiguo had a frown on his face, but his ears were filled with words like "all the students in Baichuan Academy passed the imperial examination and became successful scholars", "Gu Nanxi was a god who had descended to earth", and "Wenquxing was congratulating the Marquis' wife on her birthday".
"What? Without Gu Nanxi, there is no other gossip in the entire Kyoto city?"
The Prince of Jiguo was muttering angrily, but he saw a familiar person waving at him not far away.
The Prince of Jiguo was too bored, so he went to a private room in the teahouse to chat with them.
"What's the matter? You look so gloomy. Your eldest son just passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, so why don't you look happy at all?" The person who spoke handed the prince a glass of cold drink.
The prince frowned even more tightly: "Don't mention that unfilial son! It's really a misfortune for our family! They don't learn the good things, but only learn the bad things from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion!"
The men looked at each other and reached a consensus.
"Brother, we all have a hard time. I don't have more than a hundred taels of silver on me now. Look at Gu Nanxi, who was cheated out of a thousand taels by an old Taoist! The gap between people is really huge."
The Prince of Jiguo drank his tea silently without saying a word. Ever since he had a falling out with his wife, he had no more than fifty taels of silver on him.
Another person also echoed: "I have to say, Gu Nanxi is really an expert at making money! She made a lot of money when Yongchang Marquis entered the country, and bought a lot of real estate! But I suffered a lot, I lost a lot of money in that wave!"
His companion laughed and said, "It seems that you sponsored part of the one thousand taels that Gu Nanxi spent!"
"In my opinion, instead of letting Gu Nanxi squander the money like this, it would be better for her to return the money to us!"
The Prince of Jiguo laughed out loud: "You guys really think that this money that has entered your pocket, how can you return it?"
The man said mysteriously, "Isn't this a great opportunity given by God? Since Gu Nanxi wants to portray himself as a god descending to earth and even organize a god to celebrate his birthday, we might as well take advantage of this opportunity..."
The man whispered his plan in a low voice.
The expression of the Prince of Jiguo changed from amusement and disdain to shock, and then to excitement and enthusiasm.
"Take me one!"
……
In the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, Gu Nanxi was rarely generous and spent money to hold a grand banquet to celebrate for his three children and several other adopted sons.
The banquet was held in the garden of Marquis Yongchang.
The area is shaded by clear streams, lush trees, thick grass and blooming flowers.
There are stone paths leading in all directions, connected to pavilions and arch bridges, and there are beautiful scenery at every step.
There were many students and their families sitting scattered around by the stream and in the pavilions. The ladies sat under the shade of flowers, with a couch about a foot high in the middle.
Not far away, a troupe of opera singers were playing music, with string instruments and colorful sleeves dancing. It looked like a scene of flowers in full bloom, extremely beautiful.
Mrs. Jiang was grateful to Gu Nanxi, not only because of her disappointing sister who almost became a spy in the North, but also because of her son Jiang Guanghai.
Although Jiang Guanghai had solid knowledge, he was afraid of heat and found it very unbearable in the summer. If it weren't for the Huoxiang Zhengqi water, he estimated that he would not be able to persist in the exam normally.
"Madam Hou, I am so grateful for your kindness! From now on, if you say go east, our Jiang family will definitely not go west!" Madam Jiang was a straightforward person and could not say those flowery words. She could only express her gratitude through wine.
Gu Nanxi: "Mrs. Jiang, what you said is outrageous. Guanghai is also my adopted son. Your Jiang family and our Hou Mansion are originally one family. We should help each other. Why do you need to thank me?"
Mrs. Jiang's eyes were red. What she said just now actually put the Jiang family in a subordinate position and surrendered to Mrs. Hou.
But Gu Nanxi's words put the two families on an equal footing, as allies.
Madam Li, who was standing by, saw this and quickly joked, "Madam Hou is right. We are a huge family, with ten sworn brothers and nine families united as one! I think we can walk sideways in this capital!"
Mrs. Chen also joined in the fun: "Are you born in the year of the crab? You don't want to walk on the main road, but insist on walking sideways?"
Madam Li puffed out her chest and said confidently, "My son is a scholar, and my son's nine sworn brothers are also scholars! This time he is a scholar, and in the future he will be a juren, a jinshi, and a zhuangyuan!"
This was a pleasing thing to say, and the other ladies laughed with delight.
Mrs. Chen turned the topic back to Gu Nanxi and came forward with a glass of wine to toast her.
"Madam Hou, my Chen Yixuan is a very eccentric person. My old lady's greatest hope for him is to become a rich man and continue the Chen family's bloodline."
Madam Chen wiped away her tears and choked up, "I never thought that my Yixuan would have such a great fortune! Before I came, my old lady repeatedly told me to convey her gratitude! From now on, the Chen family will be at your disposal!"
Mrs. Chen's tone was humble, but also a little proud: "Although our Chen family is not a wealthy family, our ancestors have taken root in this capital for generations, and we have many ways."
Gu Nanxi naturally accepted Mrs. Chen's intentions.
The next person to come out was the wife of Song Zhizhou, a fifteen-year-old girl with a round face and a cherry mouth. Although her facial features were not delicate, she looked very festive.
She had her hair in a bun, was young and thin-skinned, a little girl sitting among a group of elegant women, looking like she had stolen adults' clothes.
Madam Song blushed, stood up shyly, and toasted Gu Nanxi: "Madam Hou, I'd like to toast you on behalf of my husband. My husband has few relatives, but God has mercy on him and he has your care. In our hearts, you are our relative!"
This girl is not as eloquent as Song Zhizhou, but looks very honest.
Gu Nanxi smiled from ear to ear: "I've heard that Governor Song has a childhood sweetheart, but he hid you like a treasure and didn't let us see you. Now I see, isn't it a great treasure!"
Madam Song's face turned even redder after hearing this compliment.
"Silly child, why call me Madam Hou? You should follow the prefect and call me godmother."
Madam Song stuttered, "Fuck, godmother."
"Hey!" Gu Nanxi responded readily, then took off a bracelet from her wrist and put it on Madam Song's wrist.
"Although this bracelet is not expensive, it is my favorite. I wear it all the time. I hope you don't dislike it."
Madam Song's eyes sparkled as she said from the bottom of her heart, "My godmother is a deity who has descended to earth. If I can get the personal belongings that my godmother has bestowed upon me, I will surely live a peaceful and smooth life!"
Just when the group of people were chatting enthusiastically and their relationship was developing rapidly, the doorman came to report.
"Madam Hou, there's an old monk outside, saying he's here to celebrate your birthday!"
