After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

The grunt of the carriage rubbed against the slate road and made a rattling sound, Shen Xian raised the curtain of the carriage from time to time to see that the cake was very safe.

After all, this kind of soft thing is easy to break, if it collapses when it is delivered, it will be ridiculous.

Fortunately, the distance between Gu's mansion and his home is not far, after Shen Xian made sure again and again, he gradually saw the lintel of Gu's mansion.

Although Gu Hanlin's character is not very good, after all, he has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he still has accumulated contacts.

The butler of the Gu residence was behind the door, with a table covered with a red cloth in front of him, and a gift from the visitor behind him.

The butler first welcomed the guests into the mansion with a smile on his face, then turned his head and commanded the servants to work arrogantly.

"Be careful all of you, if you bump into each other, you will be beaten."

The servant Daniu was holding a wooden box, and when he was walking, he accidentally kicked a raised bluestone slab, staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, Daniel stabilized his figure at the last moment, so that the things in his hands did not fall to the ground.

"Hey! You dog slave, I told you to be careful!"

The butler was very angry, and he came over and kicked Daniel in the ass.

Daniel grinned in pain, then walked into the yard silently holding the gift.

When he got to a place where no one was around, Daniel spat and cursed, "It's a dog who relies on people's power."

In a blink of an eye, Shen Xian's carriage came close, and the housekeeper nodded and bowed to meet him with a different appearance.

"It turns out that the second lady is here, please come in, please come in." The housekeeper greeted warmly.

There was a hint of surprise in Shen Xian's eyes, what happened to the Hanlin Mansion today, the attitude is so good.

After getting out of the carriage, Shen Xian turned to Yuechan and said, "Hold the gift down, be careful not to make it crooked."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yuechan looked at the maid beside her and said, "You guys come with me."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the butler of the Gu residence took a look inside the carriage, only to see a boxy wooden box inside, about three feet long and three feet wide.

It's a big thing...

The housekeeper muttered to himself, finished filling the ink, dipped the pen, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of gift the second lady sent, please tell the little one, so that I can add something to the gift book. "

Zhao Tieshu strolled forward, glanced at the butler and said, "This gift is a surprise. It doesn't need to be written in the gift book. It will be opened in public when the birthday banquet starts."

After hearing Zhao Tieshu's words, the butler showed an expression that I understand.

According to the usual practice, if a family brings an expensive gift, the gift book will be closed in advance, and when the birthday banquet begins, it will be revealed in front of the guests.

In fact, the butler was led astray by inertial thinking, Shen Xian didn't mean it at all, the reason why he opened it in public was because the cake was to be distributed to everyone.

Stepping through the gate, Shen Xian and Zhao Tieshu walked in front, behind were four servant girls carefully carrying the gift box containing the cake.

In front of the straight aisle is Nuo Da's reception hall, which is full of guests at the moment, and the head of the Liyuan Huadan has also been invited to stand on the stage and sing a ditty.

Shen Xian took Zhao Tieshu's arm and walked towards the living room together.

"Look, our wild girl is here."

Just when Shen Xian and Zhao Tieshu were about to buy the ladder, an untimely voice came, causing many guests to look outside.

Shen Xian's eyes fell on Gu Fangman's body, she felt a little speechless, she didn't understand, why some people don't get a house call for three days?

Gu Fangman also looked at Shen Xian, thinking that she would kneel down and beg for mercy soon, Gu Fangman was so happy that she couldn't restrain herself.

"Gu Fangman, did you take the medicine for forgetfulness this morning, did you forget something important?"

Shen Xian spoke with a smile, and there was a trace of chill in his eyes, if Gu Fangman couldn't understand people's words anymore, then Gu Hanlin's birthday banquet would probably add something disgraceful.

Gu Fangman knew that Shen Xian was threatening her, although she was very upset, but right now she couldn't do too much, if Shen Xian really turned his back on her, she would also have a headache.

"Just joking, why are you so serious."

Gu Fangman laughed sarcastically, and stepped aside.

Zhao Tieshu looked at Gu Fangman, his eyes were full of coldness, this Gu Fangman's repeated provocation of the little daughter-in-law had already made him very displeased.

Shen Xian tugged at Zhao Tieshu's sleeve, and said softly: "Forget about it today, and teach her another day."

After the words were finished, Gu Lanshu hurried over, grabbed her daughter to ask her how she was, and then led the husband and wife into the living room.

In the living room, the guests and Gu's family members are separated into a separate area, and the first room and the second room are separated into a small area.

Compared with the overcrowding in the big room, there is only one table in the second room for three people, which looks deserted.

There is a young lady in the house of Gu, and many officials in the capital have heard about it.

After meeting today, it's inevitable that she will point and point. It's okay for Gu Lanshu to get used to being wronged, but she is worried that her daughter won't be able to stand the gossip.

So Gu Lanshu got up and used the screen to cover the sight of the guests, so that she couldn't see it.

"The old birthday boy is here!"

Following the butler's loud shout, Gu Hanlin made his final appearance in festive clothes.

Although it is already a rare age, Gu Hanlin's face is indeed red today, and he walks like the wind blowing willows.

"Hehehe, thank you all relatives and friends, thank you colleagues, for coming to attend Gu's birthday banquet in your busy schedule, thank you very much."

After some courteous speeches, Gu Hanlin signaled for the banquet to begin, and then the opera singers and acrobats, I will go on stage after you sing.

Gu Hanlin and his friends exchanged cups, looked at the second room from time to time, vaguely saw the figures of Shen Xian and Zhao Tieshu.

Originally, Gu Hanlin's attitude towards Shen Xian and Zhao Tieshu was relatively average, but he didn't expect that Zhao Tieshu was a top scholar.

As the Hanlin of the Imperial Academy, Gu Hanlin naturally knew that Zhao Tieshu's performance in the general examination was excellent, and if he could win the first prize in the Jinluan Hall the day after tomorrow, he would be the number one scholar.

Gu Hanlin is a person who cares about face, so it is natural to look back at his face at this time.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, according to the usual practice, the younger generation should toast Gu Hanlin.

The first one to get up was of course the eldest son. Gu Fangman's father, Gu Hanlin's eldest son, gave a pair of Ruyi jades. Although they were not rare items, they were still considered valuable.

Gu Fangman gave a blue and white porcelain, which she specially found out from other experts. Gu Hanlin likes antiques the most, so he broke Gu Fangman in public.

The reason why Gu Fangman put so much thought into presents is that she also wanted to put her head down at the birthday banquet.

"I don't know what good things our second lady will give today."
