Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 42 Birthday Banquet
Although there was a scandal like Jiang's in the Gu family, Gu Yanxi's 11th birthday party was not disturbed, and according to Gu Jin and Gu Liang's wishes, they planned to hold a big one for her.

Right now, Gu Yanxi is wearing a small jacket with engraved gold and a hundred butterflies wearing flowers and clouds, combing a delicate and lovely hanging bun, and the black hair on the temples is dotted with lavender hairpins, which complements her delicate and charming little face like snow jade. It is bright and charming.

At this time, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, watching Luo Mei constantly picking up the earrings in the jewelry box and drawing on her ear, while listening to her mother sitting on the imperial concubine's couch talking to her.

"Jiaojiao, your birthday party is going to be in two days. Your grandfather and your father mean to give you a good one no matter what. Tell me, what do you want to do? My mother promised you .”

Looking at his mother wearing a pair of peacock-pattern brocade clothes with blue clouds and clouds, Gu Yanxi immediately captured the delicate and beautiful expression on her mother's face. It seems that his father still loves his mother, and even takes care of his mother more than before. Otherwise, Mother will not show such a moving appearance.

In this way, she is at ease.

You must know that when she heard Jiang's words that her second uncle Xiao missed her mother that day, her heart trembled violently. She asked herself why she shouldn't have forced Jiang so hard, otherwise she wouldn't have gone crazy and said such things.

You know, if a man hears that his wife is missed by other men, no matter how broad-minded he is, he will still feel uncomfortable; so at that moment, she really wanted to rush forward and kill Jiang Shi Afterwards, she also sent people to watch Xiyunyuan many times, wanting to see how the relationship between her parents was.

Fortunately, the news was all good news, and seeing her mother's loving expression on her face, she felt more at ease.

However, her dissatisfaction with Gu Shen added another layer. If what Jiang said was just nonsense, it would be fine. If he really dared to miss his mother, she would not just let go of this filthy man. man of.

Gu Yanxi looked at his mother through the bronze mirror, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Mother, it's just an 11-year-old birthday, so don't make it so lively. My family will be satisfied if we sit together and have a lively meal." gone."

These words Gu Yanxi are definitely not speaking politely, but from the heart; being able to regain her life and see her relatives again is already the greatest gift from God, so she cherishes it even more; she was ignorant in her previous life, and every birthday It will be done vigorously, and a large number of friends will be invited to have fun together. I think this is the happiest.

But later, the Gu mansion showed signs of decline. When she married into Qingpinghou's mansion and was tortured, few of the handkerchief handkerchiefs she used to play with stepped forward to really help her. At that time, she saw clearly what human nature is, and at the same time, she regretted her ignorance and carelessness in making friends back then.

Right now, when she heard her mother propose to hold a big birthday party for herself, she almost refused without even thinking about it. After experiencing so many things, she has grown up; What's important is that instead of making her mother so exhausted from organizing her birthday banquet that she doesn't even have time to breathe, she hopes to stay by her mother's side obediently and be more filial.

But Gu Yanxi thought so in her heart, but Lin didn't notice it at all. She thought her daughter was being polite to her, so she was embarrassed to mention it; over the years, she has thoroughly grasped her daughter's temper. Knowing her good friend and playful nature, how could such a lively person not want to invite the little sisters who usually play around on her birthday to have a gathering together? !
Lin put on a look of seeing through everything, walked up with a smile, looked at Luo Mei who was still choosing earrings for Gu Yanxi, took over the work in her hand, and personally chose a pair of crystal pink gemstone earrings for her daughter , Looking at her daughter who is more beautiful under the light of the jewel, Lin is really proud and rare.

Her Jiaojiao was already so beautiful before she reached the age of Ji, if she grows up a bit more, she will definitely be crowned the capital of the capital, and by then, she will not want to be idle, just picking a son-in-law will have to pick flowers Alright.

Thinking of this, Lin's heart was full of joy, looking at her daughter's delicate face like a flower, she gently tapped the tip of her nose, and said in a doting tone: "You, mother, don't you know what kind of character you are? ?Usually you are cute and smart at the front of people, but you are like a wild monkey at the back. Even your father said that your temper is not like us, but like your brother. You are obviously a girl, but it is not worrying; Taking advantage of your birthday right now, I will give you a chance to make you fuss, if you don't seize this opportunity, don't regret it in the future."

Listening to her mother's doting lessons, Gu Yanxi could only roll her eyes in her heart; it seems that the image of her little monkey was too deeply ingrained in her mother's heart before, and it was really difficult for her to change her mother's thoughts for a while; however, in order to prevent After being discovered by her mother, it is better for her not to change too obviously, lest she behave too differently before and after, which will arouse the worries of the elders in the family.

Therefore, following her mother's doting words, Gu Yanxi immediately showed a small appearance of being exposed, sticking out her tongue and burrowing into her mother's arms, coquettishly saying: "Mother, my daughter has grown up, and she has already grown up." Be sensible, okay? It’s not that I don’t want you to work hard. That’s why I said that. Since the mother wants to hold a birthday party for her daughter, then the daughter will not be polite; Mother, this time I will be the same as before , the more lively the better."

Looking at the clever ghost in her arms, Lin smiled helplessly and pinched her little nose, "I know how to act like a baby to your mother, and said that I have grown up, and I am still a child; Jiaojiao, This birthday banquet is going to be a big one for you, and it was your grandfather who told you repeatedly, he knew that you were wronged and frightened two days ago, so he wanted to make up for you."

Hearing what her mother said, Gu Yanxi finally understood everything. Thinking of her grandfather who loved her very much, Gu Yanxi's heart softened, and she swore in her heart again that this time, she would not let her grandfather be ignorant If he died, he would not let go of the executioner who hurt his grandfather behind his back.

Compared to Gu Yanxi's birthday banquet, where everyone in Gu's mansion was bustling with excitement, the Hengguang Courtyard was full of miserable talks.

After the second wife was divorced, no, now she can no longer be called the second wife; after Jiang was sent away, the second room was in chaos. Although the Hengguang Courtyard is not big, there are still twenty or thirty servants who need to manage it. Yes, and Gu Shen also has two concubines.

When Jiang Shi was there, the concubine didn't dare to make any noise due to her status as the mistress, but just as Jiang left, a concubine in the Hengguang Courtyard got jealous.

The concubine who caused the trouble was Aunt Ruan, a concubine who had never had a job in the second room. Speaking of Aunt Ruan, she is also a person with a lot of stories. Later, she was taken by Gu Shen and took her home, where she was rewarded with a small courtyard and became an aunt.

When Aunt Ruan was brought back to the mansion, the Jiang family made a big fuss. No matter how low she was, she was still a decent and innocent girl who waited by Gu Shen's side and endured him. He was wronged enough by his flirtatious love, but he didn't expect that he was getting more and more courageous now, and even dared to bring the courtesan of the brothel to his home. What if he didn't take her seriously?
This incident finally came before the old man. Although Gu Liang cared little about the second son, he also knew that he was a temper who could not support the wall. Seeing the restlessness of the second son's house, he couldn't ignore it. Jiang shi bought a lot of good things, which can be considered to appease Jiang shi's angry and wronged heart, and at the same time, he beat Gu Shen severely in front of Jiang shi, which can be regarded as acquiescing to the absurdity of the second son. It's over.

Over the years, Aunt Ruan did not dare to make trouble in the Hengguang Courtyard due to Jiang's viciousness and methods, let alone make a show of fighting for favor, but now that Jiang's family has been dismissed, she is the most favored by Gu Shen's side. Auntie naturally began to show her ambition, wanting to become the hostess of Hengguang Courtyard.

That's why there was a scene of competing with Aunt Xiang for favor in Hengguangyuan.

And although this Concubine Xiang is a girl from an innocent family, but her biological father is only a scholar, the family background is also weak, and she is even more patient, so she was bullied by Aunt Ruan; I hurt Aunt Xiang's biological daughter, Gu Yanling, so I'm afraid it won't make a big deal.

But when things go wrong, it also has the advantage of making trouble, that is, after Gu Shen knew Aunt Ruan's arrogance and domineering, he immediately grounded her, and at the same time handed over the Hengguang Courtyard to the gentle and kind Aunt Xiang to manage, which was considered a good job. It's not a silly thing.

However, when this matter reached the ears of Gu Yanwen, who had just woken up from a serious illness, it was undoubtedly a thunderstorm, which made it hard for her to accept it.

She didn't expect that after waking up from her illness, not only would her mother be divorced, but her only elder brother would be sent to Changzhou after the Chinese New Year. She thought that no one in this family would protect her unconditionally. , she cried until her heart broke, and almost cursed Gu Yanxi thousands of times in her heart.

During this period of time, Gu Yanxuan has been taking care of his biological sister, seeing her crying eyes are swollen, and his heart is extremely distressed.

While wiping her tears with the handkerchief, he comforted her and persuaded her: "Wenwen, listen to your brother. From now on at home, you can no longer be as arrogant and indulgent as before. Mother is gone, and father is another... People who don't care about things, if you don't want to be wronged, you must learn to take good care of yourself; Aunt Xiang is much kinder than Aunt Ruan, if you have anything to do, you can ask her to help you, she will definitely not refuse."

"Why does that shameless little concubine take care of my business? Does she have the qualifications?"

Gu Yanwen screamed in pain, and lost her temper at Gu Yanxuan with her red and swollen eyes from crying.

Looking at such a little girl, Gu Yanxuan's eyes hurt, he felt distressed, and also hated that iron could not be made into steel.
