Chapter 66

Song Xieyu was secretly thinking about giving Xie Chu another thank-you gift, when he heard him say: "It's what I should do, why should you thank me?"

He knew that Song Xieyu was referring to the rescue in the palace, but she was the teacher's daughter, and she called him third brother, how could he ignore her knowing she was in danger?

However, her obedient thank you attitude really made people feel more comfortable, Xie Chu's lips evoked a faint smile.

Song Hexuan heard what they were saying, so he smiled lightly and said, "Okay, let's go in first."

Before he finished speaking, Song Xieyu felt a gaze, which seemed to be aggressively falling on him, and turned his head to look, but he saw the warm sedan chair and carriage of Beppu parked behind, and the servants stood there respectfully. Beside, nothing suspicious was found.

She muttered something in her heart, so she had no choice but to turn around and press it.

The male guests went to the front yard, and the female relatives went to the back yard. After entering the door, Song Xieyu separated from his elder brother and Xie Chu, and let the servant girl lead her to the back yard.

The Gu family is very popular now, and almost all the guests who received the post came.

Whether it is the front yard or the back yard, there is prosperity full of guests and friends everywhere.

Such a grand scene is naturally due to General Gu Zhengrong guarding the border for several years, and finally conquered the Beidi people. Not only did he sign a letter of surrender, promising not to invade the northern border, but he was also willing to pay tribute.

Emperor Jing'an was overjoyed and rewarded him heavily for this.

Beidi people are tough and good at fighting, which has caused Dayu a lot of headaches for many years.

Especially in winter, the Beidi people who live by grazing came to the villages in the north of Dayu to loot and kill countless people when they were short of food and clothing, which was really a serious worry for the emperor.

During the time of the first emperor, he sent military generals to fight against Beidi many times. However, there were winners and losers, but he was still unable to subdue Beidi.

Now that Gu Zhengrong did it, how could Emperor Jing'an be unhappy, he treated him very kindly, and soon after returning to Beijing, he arranged for him to be Minister of the Ministry of War, treating him as a minister of the humerus.

Gu Zhengrong is favored by the emperor and has real power in his hands. Naturally, everyone is willing to make friends.

However, the Gu family did not get carried away because of this, and acted cautiously.

For example, this banquet was all posted in the name of the younger generation, and the guests were also gentlemen and girls from various families. Anyone who watched it was just for the children of the Gu family to re-enter the social circle of the capital and prepare for their marriage.

Song Xieyu was thinking wildly while walking, and when he walked halfway, he saw Gu Anning leading someone to meet him personally.

"Sister Changle." Gu Anning stepped forward and took her hand affectionately, and said in a low voice, "I heard that my sister was ill, but now she is recovering? I'm afraid you won't be able to come today!"

Song Xieyu smiled and said: "Of course it's all right, so are you afraid that I won't come?"

Gu Anning pursed her lips into a smile, and lowered her voice even more, "If my sister doesn't come, I'm bored by myself. Those girls get together to recite poems and paint... I get a headache just looking at it!"

Song Xieyu chuckled, "Promise! Isn't it just reciting poems and painting, what's so scary?"

Gu Anning blinked in surprise, and hesitated: "Could it be that my sister is interested in this?"

The two of them can get along well because they are not enthusiastic about the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that noble girls like. Could it be that Song Xieyu has changed his gender?

"How is it possible!" Song Xieyu said confidently, living up to her expectations: "How can I have so much free time!"

Gu Anning laughed out loud immediately, jokingly said: "I know, my sister is busy dressing up, riding a horse and walking a dog to read a storybook, so where is the time?"

Song Xieyu gave her a "you understand" look, and they both laughed.

Unknowingly, the two passed through the vertical flower gate and came to the inner courtyard.

I happened to meet with the noble ladies who were going to admire the plum blossoms in the pavilion together, and the leading lady said: "I have met the princess of Changle, Miss Gu, and we are going to admire the plum blossoms. Would you like to go together?"

Song Xieyu took a look and found that the other party was Shen Zhaozhao, the prostitute's daughter of Zuo Xiang. She had sang and danced gracefully at the palace banquet before, hoping to be favored by Xie Chu, but His Royal Highness King Yong was extremely cold and did not respond.

She secretly sighed for Shen Zhaozhao's infatuation, but the emotion was the emotion, she was not familiar with the other party, so naturally she would not go.

"No need, you can take care of yourself."

Shen Zhaozhao smiled and said: "I heard that the plum blossoms in the General's Mansion are unique. Miss Gu invited us here to appreciate the plum blossoms. Why not go with Princess Changle? Otherwise, it would be a disappointment to Miss Gu's kindness."

Song Xieyu and Gu Anning looked at each other inexplicably, everyone knew that the Plum Blossom Banquet was just a name, the important thing was that the Gu family had only returned to the capital not long ago, and they wanted to let their children get to know everyone better.

Going to appreciate the plums in such a serious manner, it seems like offending others not to reward, Song Xieyu wanted to ask her if she was serious.

Gu Anning quickly smoothed things over in embarrassment, "Ms. Shen is too famous, and the plum blossoms in our house are nothing more than mediocre. Sister Changle has just arrived. I will take her to the Nuan Pavilion to sit and talk. You can go on your own."

After saying that, he pulled Song Xieyu to go in.

Naturally, Song Xieyu didn't want to quarrel with the daughter of Zuo Xiang who seemed to be unclear, so she followed her strength and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, there was a light mocking voice coming from behind at this time, "Isn't Changle always fond of plums, why did he change his temper today, looking at plums and being timid? This is not like you, maybe it is because you are worried about Sister Shen and the others inviting you Are you afraid of writing plum appreciation poems?"

Xie Yunran walked forward as she spoke, covering her lips with a veil and laughing non-stop.

Song Xieyu stopped, turned to glance at her, his eyes were cold and stern.

Xie Yunran subconsciously avoided, and then felt too weak, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look over, but at this time Song Xieyu no longer looked at her, and only said to Gu Anning: "There are actually flies buzzing in winter." Non-stop, really annoying."

Xie Yunran suddenly widened her eyes and blushed, "Changle! How dare you be so rude?!"

She was so angry that her body was trembling, she was really pitiful.

Song Xieyu was unmoved, and looked at her coldly, "People must humiliate themselves and others will humiliate them. Don't you call yourself a talented woman in the capital? Go back and think about what it means, and don't bother me, otherwise, today can be a shame." Without your brother backing you up!"

These words immediately reminded Xie Yunran of the revenge of being slapped before, and also remembered Xie Cheng's whispered advice when we parted at the door, "Don't mess with Changle again, so as not to suffer. Besides, the father also wrote to us to keep a low profile. It is you No matter how unwilling you are, you have to be patient, so as not to offend the Huaiyin Palace, do you understand?"

She agreed at the time, but she couldn't hold back when she saw Song Xieyu just now.

Just thinking that if my elder brother knew that she was having trouble with Song Xieyu again, he would be greatly disappointed. Maybe this move would cause trouble for him and his father who was far away in the fief, Xie Yunran finally gritted her teeth and gave Song Xieyu a hard look Xie Yu glanced at him, then walked away in a huff.
