Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

The bright red invitation has a gilded word "囍" in the middle.

It's very eye-catching.

Cen Yan didn't see the content inside. Hearing this, he subconsciously thought it was the invitation from the old patriarch himself, and was surprised, "That old man from the Gu family is getting married again? How many concubines does he have? Besides, it's not okay to bring in a concubine." It’s just a small sedan, and you’re still so mobilizing troops... At this age, are you still thinking about getting a brother-in-law to come out to the ancient house to cause more trouble?"

It is said that every family has a bit of a mess, and the Gu family’s Yao Mo is much more messy than others. Mr. Gu is the grandfather of the Gu family. He has made little achievements in his life. He is mainly responsible for the development of the Gu family and the concubine who deserves the name. There are more rooms and troughs than can be counted on two hands, and there are even more outhouses that the old man himself cannot even remember.

As for the Gu family's businesses, they were all worked hard and persevered by the resolute ancient lady.

The old lady has only one direct biological son, Gucuo's father, but his father was born prematurely. I heard that the old man's romantic affair caused the old lady to have fetal distress, so Gucuo's father was a potion when he was born, not to mention taking over the family. After finishing my work, even if I walked two steps, I would have to be supported by someone to rest for a while. When winter came, I basically spent time without leaving the house and holding the stove.

For this reason, Mrs. Gu and the old man completely broke up. One of them was in charge of the inside and the other was in charge of the outside world. Of course, the person in charge is the ancient clan leader. Without the restraint of his wife, he has become more and more diligent in his inner house to carry out his plans. However, most of his life has passed, with little effect.

The ancient Madam was in charge of the outside world, in charge of money and power, and was resolute and resolute. I heard that she was very much like Mrs. Ji back then. Naturally, the family business she had worked hard for would not fall into the hands of those bastards. My son can’t inherit the family business? Then grandson! Anyway, in addition to the monthly silver, the concubine can't expect to get even a penny more!

That grandson is naturally Gucuo. From birth, Gucuo has been the young master of the Gu family, the future head of the family, and the owner of all the Gu family's property.

But people always have some delusions that they shouldn't have. They are both members of the ancient family, have the same surname, similar bloodline, and are even elders. Why can't they become the owners of part of the family property? Isn’t it justifiable to seek not the whole thing, but only a part? The old lady is old, but the heir is still young, but those uncles are in their prime, so today the family is in trouble, and tomorrow it is a stumbling block for the family's business. In short, there is no peace for a moment.

As for the old man? Oh, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. There is only one legitimate grandson, but there are several bastards. This is all the result of his hard work for most of his life, so naturally he is tighter...

These things were the result of Cen Yan listening to a little here and a little there, and then pieced them together. The old man didn't like to talk about family affairs, but even if it was just the tip of the iceberg, it wouldn't prevent Cen Yan from talking about "ancient". Discoloration.

He rambled on about the arrangement, but after talking for a long time, he saw that Ji Wuyan had no reaction, and seemed to be concentrating on the invitation in his hand. Cen Yan looked over and blinked after seeing the name clearly, and then blinked again to make sure he had read it correctly... His whole body felt like he was struck by lightning, "Isn't this the ancient boss's? Is this a wedding in an ancient house?"

He backed away as if in a daze, swallowed hard, then lowered his head and secretly raised his eyelids to look at his girl - the old man from the Gu family was dancing on the tiger's head, jumping blindly behind the closed door of hell. ! Did the girl leave Yunzhou for too long, so long that he thought that there was no one in the Ji family? How dare you send the wedding invitation to the ancient house here!

Yes, Gucuo himself didn’t reply, and there was no news for several months, but it was the old guy who sent such an invitation. Probably in the eyes of the girl, the meaning of this letter is - I have detained the ancient house, the old man did not dare to go east when I asked him to go east, and he did not dare to resist when I asked the old man to get married!

——This is not an invitation, this is a provocative letter!

This was indeed a provocative letter. Ji Wuyan clutched the post in his hand, biting the corner of his mouth without saying a word... The bride's surname was Chen, and she was indeed from the Chen family.

If this invitation was from the ancient house, whether it was from the Chen family or the You family, or even if it was a little girl picked up by the roadside of the ancient house, she would have prepared a big gift and traveled all the way to congratulate the newlyweds... But not. There are no letters and no news. This is not in line with Gucuo's style of doing things. Even if the Gu family is in peace and has nothing to say, Gucuo will definitely write to ask about the situation in Yanjing City.

But no, nothing.

Something must have happened to the Gu family. The ancient house must have been restricted or at least under surveillance. Then this marriage... The corners of his mouth slowly raised. Ji Wuyan raised his hand gently and waved it casually. The gilded invitation in his hand turned into powder. , and fell into the pool.

It's still the same wind, it's still the same sun, and the bright sunshine hits the lake as brightly as broken gold. However, I always felt that the sunshine had suddenly lost its temperature, so that when Cen Yan stood in the sunshine, he still felt a fine layer of cold sweat on his back, and the chill climbed up the back of his head - it was so scary! Cen Yan looked back at Ji Wuyan. He didn't even dare to look at the girl anymore. He only asked cautiously, "Girl, girl, are we still going to eat the wedding wine?"

Ji Wuyan looked back at him, with the corners of his mouth curled up like a smile, but the smile only hung at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were dark and cold. She smoothed the hair on her temples with the hand she had just used to crush the invitation, and smiled, "The ancient patriarch kindly invited us. If we juniors refuse, wouldn't we be disrespectful... Go, of course we will go." . However, since he has invited me and I have gone, it is me who has the final say on how to eat the wine..."

Cen Yan shivered again, and he almost instantly remembered two sentences - it is easier to invite the gods than to send them away, and if you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with the drink.

The ancient leader invited the great god to his grandson's wedding banquet. The great god was not very happy. This wedding wine... was afraid that it would turn into a funeral wine. He leaned forward more and more and asked anxiously, "Then, when will we leave?"

"There's no rush..." Miss Ji said slowly, with a graceful smile, "I guess the ancient family master was worried that we wouldn't be able to leave if things were over, so he left a lot of time... It's not too late to leave after things are settled here. But this For a while, I have been looking for something for him to do, so I sent him a gift in advance."

Ji Wuyan curled his fingertips and said to Cen Yan, "Ask your brother to check on the Chen family... The Chen family has a good appetite recently. The You family is not satisfied. They also want to seize the Gu family. Why not write When she sent a letter to her father, she said that the Chen family was thinking of replacing Shangguan..." She didn't have much use for borrowing a knife to kill someone, but it didn't hurt to use her grandfather's and father's knives.
