At noon, the Hou Mansion set up a banquet.

Everyone goes to the Flower Hall.

Gu Lin leaned close to Gu Jiu and pulled Gu Jiu's sleeve, "Second Sister, I have something to tell you."

Gu Jiu smiled, "What's the matter?"

Gu Lin glanced around, "Second Sister, it's not convenient here. Let's talk in the corner."

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows without objection, and followed Gu Lin to the corner of the Flower Hall.

"Fifth sister, if you have anything, just tell me."

Gu Lin bit her lip and whispered: "When I was in the wing, my eldest sister was talking bad about my second sister, I heard it."

Gu Jiu looked at Gu Lin, and asked calmly, "Big sister said bad things about me? What did you say?"

Gu Lin said: "I didn't hear everything, only my elder sister told people that you are sick."

Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Does the fifth sister know, who did the eldest sister say this to?"

Gu Lin looked around the crowd, then pointed to Gu Qin, "That's the sister, called..."

"She's Gu Qin, a girl from the Great House of the Hou Mansion."

Gu Lin nodded frequently, "That's right, the person talking to Big Sister is Sister Gu Qin."

Gu Jiu glanced at Gu Qin a few more times, feeling clear, and then said, "Thank you five sisters for telling me about this."

Gu Lin's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe it, "Second Sister, aren't you angry? Big Sister says bad things about you, don't you care?"

Gu Jiu said, "Thank you five sisters for your concern. I have my own idea about this. Let's eat first."

"I……"

Gu Jiu took Gu Lin to the meeting. Gu Lin had no choice but to swallow the rest of the words.

Everyone sits down separately.

Gu Lin looked at Gu Zhen and thought to herself, she didn't expect her eldest sister to say bad things about her second sister. don't usually see any conflicts between the eldest sister and the second elder sister.

She must have heard it wrong.

Gu Lin shook her head, she must have heard it right. She clearly heard the word sick.

The only person in the family who is called the sick child is the second elder sister.

Gu Zhen sat with Gu Jiu, "Second sister, the Hou Mansion is really rich."

Gu Jiu's mouth turned upside down and smiled, "Dignified mansion, of course rich and honorable."

Gu Zhen whispered to Gu Jiu, "Second Sister, I saw you chatting with Sister Mei for a long time. Has Sister Mei's marriage been decided?"

Gu Jiu looked at Gu Zhen, "How can I ask about this kind of thing when I first met. Big sister really wants to know?"

Gu Zhen was embarrassed, "I just ask casually."

Gu Jiu looked at her with a faint smile, "There are some things, you can't just ask them casually. Misfortune comes out of your mouth, big sister should know."

Gu Zhen smiled awkwardly, turned her head and said nothing.

After hearing what Gu Zhen said, Gu Qin was very curious about Gu Jiu.

She secretly observed Gu Jiu, she didn't look like a sick seed.

Could it be that Gu Zhen deliberately compiled and discharged the disease of Yangzi?

Gu Qin suppressed the suspicion in his heart, planning to look at it more.

The Houfu specially prepared fruit wine for the girls.

As a eldest girl in the Hou Mansion, Gu Mei came forward to greet everyone.

"My sisters, I toast you a glass. This is fruit wine, not intoxicating. You can't refuse."

Gu Yue preemptively said: "Sister Mei is kind, how can we refuse."

Gu Mei looked at Gu Jiu again, "Sister Xiao Jiu, how about you?"

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Mei makes a toast, I naturally want to do it first."

Gu Mei laughed, "Sister Xiao Jiu really did."

Half a cup of fruit wine, sweet, really different from other wines.

Gu Lin looked content and said, "It's delicious."

Gu Yue said to Gu Lin, "Fifth sister, this is wine after all. It's delicious and you can't be greedy for a cup."

Gu Mei smiled and said, "Sister Yue is right. Sister Lin, don't be greedy for a cup."

Gu Lin smiled embarrassedly and asked, "Sister Mei, how many drinks can I have?"

Gu Mei said, "Sister Lin is still young, so three cups are enough."

Gu Lin could only drink three cups when she heard it, which was a pity.

The taste of fruit wine is really good, there is no wine taste at all. She felt that she could drink at least one bottle.

Drink a bottle, which is amazing.

Gu Jiu's aftertaste of the fruit wine tastes a bit like low-alcohol wine from later generations.

But in the last life, Gu Jiu was not allowed to drink because of her poor health. She only tasted it secretly after she turned eighteen.

So she couldn't accurately compare the fruit wine with the low-alcohol wine of later generations.

On the contrary, this fruit wine is more like a drink.

Filled the wine glass, Gu Jiu stood up, representing the sisters of Gu Mansion Jinghou Mansion.

"Today I met with all my sisters and sisters, and I am very happy. I respect you for this cup and wish us all the best and the best."

"Sister Xiao Jiu is polite."

Everyone picked up their glasses and drank.

Gu Yue secretly swallowed Gu Jiu, and let Gu Jiu steal the limelight. It was too much.

What makes Gu Yue feel even more uncomfortable is that Gu Jiu seems to have an attitude that her sisters are headed by her.

What made her even more angry was that the girl in the Hou Mansion obviously valued Gu Jiu more, and she had to ask Gu Jiu's opinion first.

Why?

They were all prostitutes. She was only half a year younger than Gu Jiu. Why should Gu Jiu be the mainstay, but she was ignored.

What's even more exaggerated is that Gu Jiu's mother clan, the Su family, had already fallen into disarray. Everyone knows this.

And her mother, the Xie family, and the eldest uncle are officials of the Eastern Palace, which is highly valued by His Royal Highness. The second uncle is a wealthy businessman with a wealth of wealth.

The Su family is down and the Xie family is thriving. The two are in contrast. It stands to reason that everyone should pay more attention to her and despise Gu Jiu.

But the reality is completely opposite to what she imagined.

This made Gu Yue very angry.

When was in the northwest, when went out as a guest, everyone else surrounded her. She is the natural center point among sisters.

Back in the capital, she thought everything would continue in the northwest.

But she didn't expect that the first time she was a guest at Hou's Mansion, the reality hit her in the face severely.

Gu Yue drank boring wine. She has always been the protagonist of the banquet and has never played a supporting role.

The first time she played a supporting role, it turned out to be in her expectant Hou Mansion, and she still played a supporting role for Gu Jiu.

Deceive people too much.

No matter how good the fruit wine is, it is a drink after all.

Gu Yue drank five or six cups in a row.

Gu Shan looked at Gu Yue worriedly, "Sister Sister, you should drink less. Don't get drunk."

"I'm not drunk. Who said I was drunk."

Gu Yue snorted, very upset.

Gu Shan frowned, "Sister Sister, my mother told me to watch you well today, and you can't drink anymore. Don't forget, when you went out, you promised your mother something."

Gu Yue rolled her eyes, "I said I was not drunk, I was sober, and I knew what I was doing."

Gu Shan looked at Gu Yue's obviously drunk appearance, how sober it was.

Gu Yue dressed up today, it is easy to arouse everyone's idea.

Gu Mei asked, "Sister Yue, are you drunk? Come here, take Sister Yue down here to rest."

"Thank you Sister Mei for caring, I am not drunk. I just sit here, with everyone, I am very happy."

Gu Mei looked at Gu Shan.

Gu Shan shook her head slightly, but don't move Gu Yue for now.

Gu Yue has a big temper and is so strong, if she is forced to take her down, Gu Shan can't guarantee that Gu Yue will make trouble.

Gu Mei then ordered her servants, "Go and bring a bowl of sober soup. Sisters, don't be greedy for a cup."

Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, "Thank you Sister Mei for your concern."

The hangover soup came, and Gu Shan and the maid served Gu Yue to drink it.

The taste of sober soup was not very good, Gu Yue disliked it, and stopped drinking after two sips.

She stared at Gu Jiu with very resentful eyes.

Gu Jiu didn't want to pay attention to her, but Gu Yue's gaze was like a slug, sticking to her body.

Gu Jiu tilted his head and looked at Gu Yue, "What's wrong with the third sister?"

Gu Yue nodded, "I have something."

Gu Jiu asked, "What's the matter?"

"I……"

"Sister Three."

Gu Shan was almost scared to death, for fear that Gu Yue would quarrel with Gu Jiu regardless of the occasion. When that happens, you will be ashamed.

Gu Shan winked at the maid and asked the maid to report to her mother. While holding Gu Yue's hand, "Sister Sister, I'm a little dizzy, you accompany me to rest in the wing, okay?"

Gu Yue was unhappy, "Go by yourself, I'm not happy to go to the wing."

"Then, then I will accompany the third sister."

Gu Yue snorted, "Who is rare to be with you."

The girls in the Hou Mansion are all secretly observing the girls in the Gu Mansion.

Gu Qin saw that Gu Jiu had even had a few glasses of wine, but nothing happened. Secretly thought, Gu Jiu looks like a sick rice, can sick rice drink like this?

Gu Zhen was talking nonsense, composing Gu Jiu's right and wrong.

Gu Qin despised Gu Zhen more and more in her heart.

The little contradiction between the sisters did not hesitate to arrange the rumors that Gu Jiu was sick.

Didn't Gu Zhen ever think that the reputation of the sick rice seedling spread out, regardless of whether it is true or not, will it affect Gu Jiu's marriage?

Gu Zhen was really full of malice towards Gu Jiu.

Gu Qin put the label of a villain on Gu Zhen's forehead.

Gu Zhen didn't think that stealing chickens won't lose the rice.

Several times went to Gu Qin to drink, but Gu Qin's attitude was neither lukewarm nor cold, showing indifference and politeness.

Obviously, when we were chatting in the wing room before, everyone was so close. How did Gu Qin change into a person in a short time?

Gu Zhen murmured to herself that the girl in the Hou Mansion was so temperamental that she made faces at every turn.

At this time, most of the attention of the girls in the Hou Mansion was focused on Gu Yue.

Gu Shan and Gu Yue pulled and pulled, and it was hard not to attract attention.

Just when Gu Shan was about to die of sorrow, Chunhe came.

Gu Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

Chunhe came to Gu Yue and said, "The third girl, the wife ordered the servant girl to come and have a look. The third girl drank too much alcohol and was unwell, so don't force it. The servant girl will take the third girl down to rest."

"I'm not going." Gu Yue was very upset.

Chunhe expressionlessly, he leaned into Gu Yue's ear and whispered: "The wife said, if the three girls must be embarrassed in the Hou Mansion, then don't blame her for not understanding you."

The words were not serious, but Gu Yue shuddered abruptly.

"I……"

Chunhe blinked and said with a smile: "The three girls are unwell, so let's go to rest with the slaves."

Gu Yue lowered her head and nodded slightly, "I heard from Sister Chunhe."

Gu Yue helped Chunhe's hand to stand up, glared at Gu Jiu, and said loudly, "Second sister, you are not in good health, so you should drink two less. Don't let your mother and father worry about you. I want two. Sister, don’t want to drink medicine all day."

Gu Jiu smiled slightly, "Thank you for the concern of the third sister. Since you are unwell, you should quickly follow Chunhe to rest. Your wife sent Chunhe specially, so you should not disappoint your wife."

Gu Yue snorted coldly, "I don't need the second sister to worry about me."

Gu Yue took a step forward and left.

Sure enough, he was a little drunk, and his feet were unstable. If it weren't for Chunhe to support her, she would definitely fall.

Gu Yue shook her head, clearly so clear-headed, how could she be drunk.

Gu Jiu was not drunk, so how could she be drunk.

Gu Yue looked at Chunhe. Chunhe was expressionless, looking very serious.

Gu Yue gritted his teeth and left with Chunhe. So as not to be angry with the mother.

As soon as Gu Yue left, Gu Shan was obviously relieved.

She was scared to death.

Fortunately, she stopped Gu Yue and did not disappoint her mother.

Gu Shan and Gu Jiu said, "Second elder sister and third elder sister are drunk, don't be familiar with her."

Gu Jiu smiled softly, "The fourth sister is too worried. I always understand the third sister. No matter what she does, I will not be surprised."

Gu Shan choked and smiled, very boring.

The girls in the Hou Mansion all smiled clearly.

They have always heard about the situation of the second room in the Gu's house.

One is from the original partner, and the other two are from the concubine Fuzheng.

There must be contradictions between these three sisters.

Now it seems that the contradiction is not small.

After lunch, the Houfu girl took everyone to the garden for a walk.

In winter, the garden trees are withered. I thought there was no scenery to see, but I didn't want to, the Hou Mansion actually built a greenhouse.

Flowers are blooming in the greenhouse, and vegetables are planted. And one side of the greenhouse is all transparent glass.

Everyone looked surprised, standing outside the transparent glass, sighing.

The Hou Mansion is indeed rich and honorable.

There is no such kind of conservatory in Gu's residence.

Gu Jiu was not like the other sisters, so he leaned forward to see the wonder.

She was just a little surprised. She didn't expect that in this era, there is already transparent glass, the color is still very good, and no impurities are seen.

The capital is indeed a place where wealth and wealth are gathered, and you can see all kinds of rare things.

When was in the northwest, let alone never saw glass, never even heard of it.

The area in the northwest was too remote and too bitterly cold, fortunately, Master Gu served as an official in the northwest for eight or nine years.

This kind of patience is rare in most people.

This time Master Gu was promoted to the post of Capital Government Yin, if he could sink his heart, he might not have done nothing.

Jingcheng Fu Yin seems to be an errand that is not so good on both sides, and is irritated everywhere.

However, opportunities are always hidden in crises.

If Master Gu can grasp the opportunity, he may not fail to shine in front of the emperor. It is not difficult to go further.

Gu Jiu thought of many things from a piece of glass, and his brain replenishment skills really improved.

"Sister Xiao Jiu, why are you not with everyone?"

Gu Mei walked to Gu Jiu's side and asked concerned.

Gu Jiu said, "There are too many people, so I won't join in the fun. The warm house here is great."

Gu Mei smiled and said, "Sister Xiao Jiu thinks this place is good too? The old lady thinks that her teeth are bad and she can't bite the meat. She is mostly vegetarian.

It's just that there are very few fresh fruits and vegetables in winter, and the old lady always feels uncomfortable in winter every year.

Later, the third uncle figured out a way and said that he wanted to build a greenhouse. The third uncle has been to many places and said that there is a glass workshop in the south, and the transparent glass is burnt, but it does not produce energy.

The third uncle entrusted the relationship and personally sent someone to go south. Brought back transparent colored glaze, and also brought back the technology of building a greenhouse. No, there is an extra greenhouse in the Fuzhong Garden. "

After listening to Gu Jiu, he really admired: "Uncle Santang is really great."

Gu Mei said, "My father also said that the third uncle is the smartest person in the family."

Gu Jiu was fascinated, and really wanted to meet this smartest uncle Santang.

After visiting the conservatory, everyone is ready to go back to the flower hall to rest.

Growing flowers and vegetables in the greenhouse, although it is not cold, is not a suitable place to play.

Gu Mei and Gu Jiu said, "If Sister Xiao Jiu has anything to eat, tell me. I'll send it to you."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Thank you Sister Mei. The eldest mother and wife worry about the food at home."

Gu Mei knew it, and stopped mentioning the matter.

Back to the Hua Ting, a maid came to Gu Shan and whispered: "Four girls, the third girl is crying in the wing. My wife will not be able to walk away. Let the fourth girl go and watch the third girl."

Gu Shan was surprised, "Three sisters can cry?"

The sun will come out from the west.

Okay, how could Gu Yue start to cry.

The maid said solemnly: "The third girl is really crying. The servant girl doesn't know why the third girl is crying."

Gu Shan heard the words and said, "I'll go over."

Gu Zhen noticed the movement here, walked over and asked, "Sister Si, are you going to visit Sister Third? I'll go with you."

Gu Shan hesitated.

Gu Zhen added: "I am also very worried about the third sister's situation. I saw her drinking so much before, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable. I followed the fourth sister, and I can help to share the worries for the fourth sister."

Gu Shan nodded, "Okay. Big sister will go with me."
