The maid came to inform that the banquet was ready.

Ladies please move to the flower hall.

Gu Jiu stood up, Sisters, let's go to the banquet.

Sister Xiaojiu leads the way.

Gu Jiu smiled and led everyone back to the flower hall.

There are nine tables open, all of which are placed in the flower hall on the right.

Everyone sits down.

Gu Yue took the initiative to sit with Miss Zhao Liu, and it was called the escort seat.

Gu Jiu ignored her and asked Gu Shan to sit at a table with the Xie family.

Gu Shan was a little worried about Ma Shi.

She pulled Gu Jiu and whispered, Second sister, can you let the fifth sister and me have a table?

Gu Jiu looked at Gu Shan strangely, What's the matter? Is there any difficulty for the fourth sister? The fifth sister and the eldest sister want to accompany the other girls in the house.

Gu Shan opened her mouth and didn't know where to start, It's just that my aunt talks a lot. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it, so I want the fifth sister to accompany me.

This reason barely persuaded Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu said to her, I'll ask the fifth sister. If the fifth sister doesn't want to, don't be disappointed.

Thank you second sister.

After Gu Jiu settled everyone down, she asked Gu Lin if she would like to sit at a table with the Xie family.

Gu Lin looked towards the Xie family, Can't the fourth sister handle it alone?

Gu Jiu nodded, Fourth sister said she couldn't handle it alone.

Gu Lin raised her eyebrows and smiled, Okay, I'll accompany Fourth Sister.

Gu Lin happily went to accompany Gu Shan.

Gu Shan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Gu Jiu.

With Gu Lin there, when the aunt Ma was talking nonsense, Gu Lin stabbed her with a word, and the scene was beautiful. I don't believe that my aunt, Mrs. Ma, has the face to continue talking nonsense.

Gu Jiu and Gu Mei accompany the girls from the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Xie has settled down, ladies and gentlemen,

Come to the back table.

Seeing that Gu Yue was not sitting at a table with the girls from the Duke's Mansion, she frowned slightly.

Xie glared at Gu Yue, how could this dead girl sit at the table next to her. Could it be that Gu Jiu stole Gu Yue's chance.

Xie Shi secretly snorted, and she knew that Gu Jiu was not a good person. It really makes no sense.

It's just that the seats have been set and it's not easy to change, so Xie Shi had to suppress his anger, smiled, and stepped forward to greet everyone to eat and drink.

When passing by Gu Yue, Mrs Xie pinched her secretly.

Gu Yue felt guilty and did not dare to look up.

Xie snorted coldly, put the matter aside for the time being, and asked Gu Yue what happened at night.

The banquet officially started.

The well-trained maids serve the dishes in an orderly manner.

The menu is carefully drawn up.

There are sixteen dishes on a table, two cold dishes, four steamed dishes, four boiled dishes, four stir-fried dishes, and two soup dishes.

When the food and wine were served, Mrs. Xie, as the host, greeted everyone to eat and drink.

The atmosphere of the flower hall gradually became lively.

The dishes prepared in the kitchen are very good and suit most people's tastes.

There is a wide variety of wines to suit everyone's needs.

Taking advantage of the warm atmosphere, Gu Jiu picked up the wine glass, called the other four sisters, toasted table after table, and tried his best to do what he should do as a master.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wei, the eldest lady of the Hou residence, laughed, and muttered to Mrs. Zhang, The girls are not bad. The atmosphere of the banquet today is very good.

The atmosphere is good, at least 70% of the purpose of the banquet has been completed.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, It's mainly Xiao Jiu who is mindful and can do things. If it weren't for her to say hello, the other girls would probably be sitting indifferently.

When the eldest lady and the little Wei Shi heard this, she couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu has grown a lot taller in the past six months, and her figure is still thin, but she can already see a little girl's line.

Little Wei saw Gu Jiu leading the other four girls of the Gu family, shuttled through the banquet to toast to the guests, greeted everyone to eat, and said auspicious words.

The whole process was smooth and easy and made everyone feel comfortable.

She couldn't help but nodded secretly, Little Jiu, although she lacks experience, she is better than clever.

The characters are also well written. Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and smiled, Today's menu was copied by Xiao Jiu.

The eldest lady and Xiao Wei smiled and asked in a low voice, Do you know how Brother Xie and his wife arranged for this girl, Xiao Jiu?

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, knew that the so-called arrangement naturally referred to Gu Jiu's marriage.

She looked around and whispered to Xiao Wei: Xie brother and sister's thoughts, you can tell by guessing. She definitely doesn't want Xiao Jiu to marry better than Gu Yue. She must be close to Gu Yue's marriage first, and then Will consider Xiaojiu's marriage.

I don't know what the specific thoughts of Master Gu are. However, the two of them should have similar ideas. After all, Xiaojiu's grandfather's family has fallen, and it is not comparable to the Xie family.

The eldest lady and Xiao Wei nodded, This child, Xiao Jiu, does not have a strong grandfather's family, so it is indeed a bit of a disadvantage.

When the eldest wife Mrs. Zhang heard this, her brows and eyes moved, It's better for Sister-in-law to help Xiaojiu. With the connections of Sister-in-law, it shouldn't be difficult to tell Xiaojiu a suitable marriage.

The eldest lady, Xiao Wei, did not respond immediately, but said, Parents are not in a hurry, and it's not easy for me, an outsider, to rashly introduce marriage to this child, Xiao Jiu. Let's take a look.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, bowed her head and pondered, and understood what Mrs. Wei meant.

Xiao Wei was willing to introduce the marriage for Gu Jiu, but she didn't want to offend Master Gu and Xie.

Xiao Wei also wanted to wait for Gu Yue's marriage to be decided, and then use it as a reference, and then introduce the marriage to Gu Jiu.

In this way, no one can be blamed, and things can be done properly.

After thinking about it, the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, laughed, It's still the concubine's thoughtful thinking. Xiao Jiu's child is more than half a year away from Ji Ji, and her marriage is not in a hurry.

Little Wei nodded, It's really not in a hurry. It's the marriage of your kids, it's time to hurry up.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, said, I don't hide it from you. I'm discussing the marriage of the children with my mother's family.

Xiao Wei suddenly realized, Do you want to kiss your parents?

I have this idea. But about Dalang's marriage, I still want to tell him a serious and noble girl. Sister-in-law, do you have a good girl to introduce to me?

Little Wei laughed.

It seems that the Zhang family intends to marry the second son to his natal family, and the eldest son to marry the daughter of Xungui.

Little Wei pointed to the front, There are so many noble girls sitting over there. My younger brother and sister liked that one. Tell me. I'll help you protect the media.

What I've been waiting for is the words of the sister-in-law in the hall. The three girls in Luhou's mansion, the one named Pei Man, how do you think of the sister-in-law in the hall?

Luhou Mansion?

Xiao Wei frowned slightly.

Brother and sister, have you figured it out? Lu Hou is not a good person to get along with. Marrying with Lu Hou will take risks.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, was suddenly tangled.

Xiao Wei suggested: How about the girls in Daihou Mansion? If my younger brother and sister like it, I will help you.

Several girls from the eldest wife Zhang's Dynasty Hou's Mansion looked at it.

She hesitated a bit, I heard that Mrs. in the hall is going to marry Daihou's mansion and marry girl Mei. If my eldest man marries a girl from Daihou mansion, and outsiders see it, wouldn't they say that our Gu family is changing relatives.

Xiao Wei shook his head slightly, It doesn't matter. Our two families have long since separated, and there is no such thing as a marriage change. However, younger siblings must be prepared. If they want to marry, they can only marry the second daughter. .

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, suddenly laughed, I don't need to remind her from the hall, I also understand. My eldest son is not worthy of the eldest daughter of the Hou's residence, and it is already a high achievement to be able to marry the second daughter.

Mrs. Wei asked, Then the matter is settled like this? I'll find out what Mrs. Daihou said in a while.

Okay! Thank you, Mrs. in the lobby.

The two talked and laughed, and a marriage was almost settled.

Mrs. Xie came over to make a toast, and the sister-in-law drank two glasses with them.

Mr. Xie had something hidden in his heart, so he took the opportunity to ask Mr. Wei.

Sister-in-law in the lobby, did Mrs. Haixibo reveal anything?

Xiao Wei smiled, Brother Xie, don't worry, I'll ask for you when you finish drinking. Don't worry, it seems that Mrs. Haixibo is still very satisfied with Girl Zhen. As long as there are no accidents, this marriage should be It can be done.

Xie Shi suddenly laughed, Thank you, Mrs. in the hall. If this marriage happens, I'll invite you to drink.

You should treat me to a wedding candy.

That's right. Look at me, I'm clumsy, don't mind my sister-in-law in the lobby.

After Mr. Xie finished speaking, he went to the next table to toast.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, asked the little Mrs. Wei in a low voice, Can the marriage between girl Zhen and Zhao Silang really happen?

It's not a big problem. When you're done drinking, you can ask my brother and sister Xie how much dowry she's going to prepare for girl Zhen.

The eldest Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows, What's the matter, Mrs. Haixibo is also picky about the girl's dowry?

Mrs. Wei picked up the wine glass, considered it for a while, and said, It's not that Mrs. Haixibo wants to be picky about the girl's dowry, but the second and third rooms of the Zhao family will be picky about the girl's dowry.

You also know that the three heads of Haixibo Mansion are deeply conflicted. If girl Jane gets married and the dowry is too small, she will probably be wronged.

They are both daughters of the Gu family. As an aunt in the hall, how could I bear to see her being wronged at her husband's house.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, suddenly realized, Sister-in-law in the lobby wants me to remind brother and sister Xie to prepare more dowry for girl Zhen, at least to look good.

Exactly. Little Wei didn't hide his thoughts.

Zhang Shi frowned, Xie brother and sister is not bad for money, she has made a lot of money with her second brother in the northwest for so many years, I know this.

But Xie brother and sister is a bit stingy. Especially for a prostitute girl, she must be reluctant to spend money.

Xiao Wei smiled contemptuously, It wasn't her private money that was spent. It was the money from their second house master, so she was ashamed to only prepare a dowry of two or three thousand taels for girl Zhen?

For a family like us, if you marry a concubine and give birth to a girl, the dowry is more than 5,000 taels, and 10,000 taels is not much.

I don't ask her to prepare a dowry of ten thousand taels for girl Zhen. A dowry of five or six thousand taels should be prepared.

After a pause, Xiao Wei said again: Before I came, the old lady told me to remind my brother and sister Xie.

Marrying a daughter is not marrying an enemy, you have to prepare everything that should be prepared, and don't be stingy with that little money.

I thought it would be inappropriate for me to say this, after all we are separated. I also ask you, brother and sister, to tell my brother and sister Xie what the old lady meant for me.

On the side of Master Gu, my master will also mention him.

Mrs. Zhang laughed, As long as Master Gu nods his head on this matter, then there will be no problem. In the end of the second room, it is still Master Gu who decides.

Little Wei breathed a sigh of relief, This matter will trouble my younger siblings.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and waved, Sister-in-law in the lobby doesn't need to be polite with me. If the marriage between my family's eldest son and Daihou's mansion is completed, I have to thank you and give you a piece of thank-you money.

Xiao Wei said with a smile: It's okay to thank the media for the money, just invite me to a wedding wine.

The sister-in-law in the lobby is indispensable for drinking wedding wine.

...

Gu Yue pulled Miss Zhao Liu from Haixi Bo Mansion to speak.

She deliberately flattered to please, and said auspicious words one car after another like a car wheel.

Miss Zhao Liu knew that Gu Yue was trying to please her with a purpose, but the sugar-coated cannonballs were really beautiful, as sweet as honey.

At the beginning, I would be vigilant. When I eat too many sugar-coated cannonballs, Miss Zhao Liu also enjoys the feeling of being flattered. It's beautiful!

After half a meal, the two of them became as close as sisters, holding hands and talking affectionately.

The people sitting next to him were amazed by this scene.

Gu Yue really spared no effort to please Miss Zhao Liu.

After the banquet was over, the two moved to the small flower hall on the left for tea and snacks, and continued chatting.

Gu Yue also had a lot of ideas. She slammed sideways, and she was stunned to have a lot of news about Zhao Erlang.

Miss Zhao Liu didn't think much of it. Only when Gu Yue was just curious would he inquire about his own situation.

Gu Yue has a lot of heart, and she encouraged Miss Zhao Liu, Sister Zhao, you take me to see your fourth brother, okay? If my eldest sister and your fourth brother get married, we will be relatives in the future. But Before we get married, let us meet your fourth brother and know what your fourth brother looks like.

Miss Zhao Liu hesitated.

Gu Yue took her hand, Sister Zhao, just agree. I'll call my eldest sister too, let's go over together, how about that?

Miss Zhao Liu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, Okay. I'll let the maid go to the outer courtyard to see, and ask my fourth brother to come to the atrium. We will meet in the atrium.

Okay! Sister Zhao, wait for me, and I'll tell the eldest sister. The eldest sister is shy, and it will take a while to convince her. Sister Zhao, sit here and wait for me, I will be back in a while. .

Sister Yue, let's go, I'm not in a hurry.

Gu Yue nodded with a smile and left in a hurry.

Gu Yue walked out of the flower hall and did not see Gu Zhen for the first time.

Instead, he called the maid Grape, You asked a young maidservant to go to the outer courtyard to find the eighth master. Let the eighth master take the cousin of the Xie family to wait for me in the atrium, remember?

Grape was a little frightened and asked, Girl, what are you doing?

Gu Yue smiled coldly, with ruthlessness in her eyes, Can't you see what I'm going to do? I can't just sit back and watch my eldest sister marry into the Haixi Bo mansion. Her best home is the Xie family.

Girl, are you crazy?

Grape heart almost jumped out, looking around, fortunately there was no one around.

Gu Yue stared at the grapes, Do you look like I'm crazy? I'm calmer now than ever. Go quickly.

Grape hesitated and said, Girl, please think twice. The slave saw that the wife and Mrs. Haicibo were very happy to talk, and the marriage of the eldest girl should be settled soon. You intervene at this time, why is this? It's ruined. The marriage of the eldest girl is not good for you, girl.

Who said that? Gu Yue stared at Grape, You've been by my side for so many years, don't you know what I mean?

what?

Grape had a shocked face, Girl, aren't you coming for real? You really fell in love with that Zhao Erlang? That man beat his wife, and he had a bad temper, so he would hit people.

Girl, don't be confused, okay? Otherwise, I will call my wife out, and the girl will talk to my wife.

If the wife is willing to support the girl, then it's not too late to call the Eighth Young Master.

Gu Yue sternly said, What is there to talk about. What do you think I should talk about with my mother now? I have to do something to have the leverage to talk about this with my mother, do you understand?

Only by destroying the marriage of the eldest sister will my mother agree to marry me to the Haixi Bo mansion, understand?

And the big sister's marriage to the Xie family has a great advantage, it can stop the Xie family's mouth. Lest the Xie family keep hitting on me and my sixth brother.

Grapes are nervous, restless.

The girl must be crazy to have such crazy ideas.

What's so good about Zhao Erlang, the girl just fell in love with him.

You don't understand! Gu Yue suddenly smiled, her eyes soft and longing.

How can you, a maid, understand such a man. But I understand him. The first time I saw him, I knew that my real son had appeared.

Gu Yue's gentle tone made grape goosebumps up.

Gu Yue stared at the grapes stubbornly, Are you going? If you don't go, don't wait by my side from now on.

Grape was about to cry, but nodded helplessly, This servant listens to the girl.

Remember to find a maid with a good eye. This thing must be done naturally without leaving any traces, remember?

Slave remembered.
