The next day.

Chu Yu still didn't go to court, she had a leisurely breakfast with Gu Youning in the morning, and then got up and changed, ready to go to Zuo Xiangfu.

At this time, although Zuo Xiang's mansion has not opened yet, many relatives have already come. The men are drinking tea in the front hall, and there is an opera troupe singing on the stage, and the women in the back house are also sitting together. Talking hotly, Mrs. Li is not in good health now, but she still insisted on coming out today to accompany the visiting officials and wives, and the Zuo Xiangfu is no longer in charge, and Chu Qianrou will take care of everything. But bearing the name of an elder, Gu Ting will not look good if he is not here at this time.

It's just that none of these officials and wives are vegetarians. Although Mrs. Li is now a mother-in-law and has a daughter-in-law of the princess, which seems to be beautiful, these women know in their hearts that Mrs. Li can no longer speak in the Gu family, so they all To respond to Chu Qianrou.

One is that Gu Junxuan is now on the rise, he is already the commander of the Imperial Forest Army at a young age, and most importantly, they all know that the Princess Wen from the Gu family actually has a bad relationship with the Gu family, except for Gu Junxuan, who is now the second The prince died because of something bad. If it is true that King Wen is on the grand ceremony in the future, then Gu Junxuan is the uncle of the country, and he is also the uncle of the country who has a good relationship with the queen, which is quite a difference.

Secondly, Chu Qianrou is Princess Ming's most favored youngest daughter, and in the future, even King Wen will be involved in the Gu family, but for the face of Princess Qianrou, Gu Junxuan will also retreat unscathed.

So these officials and wives basically ignored Mrs. Li, and only talked affectionately with Chu Qianrou.

As a result, Li Shi also noticed it, and her face was a little uneasy. Gu Lianya also came out to meet guests. Seeing this, she couldn't help being angry, but she had no choice. Thinking of this, she was also a little annoyed. She would have known that today, when Chu Qianrou first married, she would not be so mean.

Just when the women in the backyard had their own thoughts, Gu Ting, who was drinking tea and listening to an opera in the front yard, suddenly heard a young man report that the guard of honor from Prince Wen's mansion was coming soon, and asked if the master had to go out to pick him up.

"Is it really a show of honor?"

Gu Ting's face suddenly sank. As the old man of a prince, it is naturally impossible to get the gift of the prince's son-in-law, but if the noble lord gives the old man face, this gift does not need to be too particular, and it is the old man's birthday, but Now King Wen not only did not waive the courtesy, but also called a guard of honor to show off. In front of these relatives, friends and ministers who came to congratulate him, he had to bring his whole family to kneel down and greet the prince.

He knew that the relationship between himself and his youngest son was not good. When King Wen was blind, there was such a duplicitous thing. Although he handed over the invitation, he also thought that King Wen might not come, but he didn't expect that it would be this situation.

"What does King Wen mean?" Gu Ting didn't understand, but he didn't dare to delay, he quickly stopped the opera singer, and led all the children of the clan and officials from the court to the front yard to pick him up.

"Where can it be the meaning of King Wen?" Gu Ting stood next to a cousin from the clan. Because Gu Youning beat his son at Gu Junxuan's banquet that day, he had always held a grudge. At this time, he couldn't help it. He set fire and said: "It must be our fifth master who is going to make trouble. Every time he comes, there will be an accident. The elder must be young this time."

"This rebel!!"

After Gu Ting finished listening, he became even more angry and cursed. Gu Junxuan was listening beside him, couldn't help frowning, glanced at the man, then coughed lightly, and said coldly to Gu Ting: " Father, since King Wen is here, it is necessary to be more disciplined, let all relatives and friends in the family avoid them, so as not to look shameful in front of King Wen for a while."

"Yes, yes, yes." Gu Ting nodded again and again. He had seen Gu Youning's slapstick tricks before, and he didn't dare to offend Prince Wen's mansion at all. Ladies and gentlemen in the backyard, Gu Youning will come back soon, so I have to go to the backyard to have a sit down."

"Yes"

Gu Junxuan nodded, and finally turned his head to look at the old man who was talking about just now. The man knew he was talking about him, so he couldn't hold back for a while, turned around and walked away with his face flushed.

At this time, everyone was standing at the gate of Zuoxiang Mansion and waiting. The gongs of the guard of honor of Wen Wang Mansion were getting louder and closer, and after a while, they saw the plaque of King Wen with gold letters on a dark red background walking slowly ahead, and some A total of 32 guards in the 32th row cleared the way, [-] cavalry archers escorted them, and many others held a black gold six-dragon square umbrella and Wenwang Mansion flags, and came in a mighty four-horse carriage.

When everyone saw the carriage arriving, they all lowered their heads and straightened their clothes, and stood bowed.

Not long after the carriage stopped, Chu Yu came down first. He was wearing a black gold dress that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, but the patterns on the hem are different. Today's is the pattern of Baichuan Yunhai mountain top, covered with a black embroidered dark pattern Momofuku outer shirt.

After standing still, he didn't care about the people at the gate of Zuo Xiang's mansion, but turned around and hugged Gu Youning who was in the carriage. This Gu Youning was actually wearing the same black gold dress as Chu Yu's, but it was one size smaller, and the pattern on the robe was also changed from Baichuan Yunhai was replaced by Danfeng Chaoyang, because Gu Youning's photos were hot, so the brocade outer shirt outside was a luxurious black shark ice gauze, with golden and colorful embroidered silver cloud patterns on it, which was extremely dazzling in the sunlight.

After they both got out of the car, Gu Ting knelt down and kowtowed together with the others.

"Chen Gu Ting and his whole family pay respects to His Royal Highness Wenwang, may the prince live a thousand years, and pay respects to His Royal Highness, may the princess be safe and healthy."

"Get up, don't be too polite"

Chu Yu's expression was calm, although he seemed to be saying no courtesy to Gu Ting, but he reached out to help Gu Junxuan up, and everyone had already thought about it, Gu Ting was so embarrassed that he could only get up by himself in embarrassment.

Gu Youning held back a smile, just watched helplessly from the side, showing no sign of going forward to make a rescue.

In front of everyone, Gu Junxuan had no choice but to take the lead and said: "It's your birthday, I don't want to bother the prince, but the prince came to the door in person, I feel deeply guilty and disturbed."

"It's okay, my family should come." Chu Yu nodded slightly, then turned his head and ordered: "Bring me the congratulatory gift."

After the words fell, Gu Ting and Gu Junxuan waited for everyone, and immediately saluted again: "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

Chu Yu took Gu Youning's hand, raised his leg and walked towards the mansion, only turned his head and said to Gu Junxuan: "There is no need to be polite, Commander Gu can go in with me, Youning was still thinking about you at home yesterday."

After all, everyone could only walk in behind King Wen and Princess Wen, and only Gu Jun walked beside Chu Yu and Gu Youning.

When everyone was surrounded by Chu Yu and Gu Youning entering the mansion, no one noticed that there was also a sedan chair parked at the door. Gu Xizhen stood at the door, and everyone went to greet Wen Wen and his wife, but she and a girl were alone. Standing at the door, no one came to say hello.

"Miss..." The maid beside Gu Xizhen called her timidly, and said, "Let's go in too."

Gu Xizhen pursed her lips, and said bitterly: "He is so prominent. Thinking of that little bastard Gu Youning, who couldn't even get a decent position in Zuoxiang's mansion back then, he can do this now!!!"

"Miss, don't talk about it. It's so easy to come back and wish the master's birthday. You can be happy. When you go back in a while, you will see that demon get angry again!" The maid comforted her, but it made Gu Xizhen even more sad. Time actually shed tears.

Back then, Gu Youning married into the palace and became Princess Wen, and was extremely favored. King Wen dismissed his concubines for him. A while ago, I heard that a woman brought King Wen's son to look for her, but she was also sent by King Wen. Leaving, for fear of wronging him at all, and she just married the son of a servant in a hurry, and the husband blindly favors the male concubine, and he doesn't even look at her all day long. If the parents-in-law were not afraid of the power of the Zuoxiang mansion I'm afraid he would have divorced her long ago.

"Miss, don't cry." The servant girl wiped her face with a handkerchief, and then said, "Today I am here to celebrate the master's birthday. The more you behave like this, the more people will look down upon you. If it spreads to the family, they will think you are If you come back to complain, I’m afraid the old lady at home is not happy, and let that monster talk again.”

After hearing her words, Gu Xizhen reluctantly nodded, wiped the tears from her face, and walked towards the mansion supported by the girl.

At the same time, when the female relatives were chatting lively in the inner house, a little girl came in and said: "The master in the front yard asked the servants to inform the wife and the young lady, and the king Wen and the princess came to celebrate the master's birthday."

Everyone was surprised and got up quickly, ready to welcome Princess Wen, but after waiting for a while, no one came, but another little girl came in and said: "Ma'am, the second lady is also back to celebrate the master's birthday, and she is coming in soon "

Mrs. Li was already very upset when she heard that Chu Yu and Gu Youning had come. Now that she heard her daughter came back, her complexion improved a little. But thinking about why Gu Xizhen got married, she felt quite uncomfortable.

Only Gu Lianya frowned at the side, asking the little girl: "Is only the second lady back, and uncle didn't come?"

The little girl shook her head and said: "The servant only saw the second young lady bringing the girl in alone, but didn't see my uncle."

After the words fell, everyone fell silent. Gu Xizhen was shameless in her husband's house. It is well known that her husband favors male concubines, and it is also heard that today her husband even carried a male concubine from a brothel into a concubine. Keep it with you all day.

Mrs. Li glared at Gu Lianya, and secretly scolded her for talking too much, but Chu Qianrou had no expression on her face, and just ordered: "Hurry up and ask the second lady to come in, Princess Wen will come to the backyard soon, I'm afraid it won't look good if it's too late."
