"Big sister, fifth sister, please sit down."

Gu Jiu got up and greeted the two of them, and everyone sat down as the guest and the host.

Green bamboo is served with tea.

Gu Jiu looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "What's wrong with Big Sister and Five Sisters? Seeing how angry you are, who makes you upset?"

Gu Zhen and Gu Lin stared at each other, and then they snorted together.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Big sister and fifth sister, don't let each other breathe. They are all sisters. Tell me if there is any contradiction."

"I have nothing to say with her." Gu Lin said first.

Gu Zhen smiled, "It just so happens that my fifth sister and I have nothing to say. This saves a lot of things."

Gu Lin frowned, squinting her eyes to look at Gu Zhen, "Big sister, it's best to accumulate virtue. You have to talk about dear ones."

Gu Zhen was annoyed for a while, her face suddenly became ugly, and her only good mood was gone.

She said to Gu Jiu: "Second sister, you heard that with your own ears, she is talking to me like this, there are no rules at all."

"Why am I unruly?"

Gu Lin was not convinced.

Gu Zhen coldly snorted, "Are you talking to the eldest sister like this? People who speak so aggressively and don't know think that you are talking to an enemy. Hmph, just your attitude, there is no way at all."

Gu Lin opened her mouth, "I have a bad attitude, and your attitude is different. As the eldest sister, don't you know how to lead by example?"

"You, you are still stubborn."

"I'm telling the truth. If you really want to play the eldest sister's score, you can learn from the second elder sister. If you want to be like the second elder sister, I will respect you as the eldest sister."

"Ahem..."

Gu Jiu coughed slightly and quarreled as soon as he quarreled. Don't involve her in it.

Gu Jiu glanced at the two of them and asked, "Big sister, fifth sister, why did you meet?"

Gu Lin first said: "I was bored in the room and wanted to talk to my second sister. I didn't expect to meet my big sister at the gate."

Gu Zhen laughed, "I came to see my second sister to tell you something I just heard."

Gu Jiu aptly supported him, "What news?"

Gu Zhen first pursed her lips and smiled, and then said, "Do you know that Hexi Bofu will come to the banquet."

Gu Lin didn't even think of it, and asked directly, "Which Haixi Bo Mansion?"

Gu Jiu reacted all of a sudden and said to Gu Zhen, "Congratulations, big sister."

Haixibo Mansion and Gu Mansion have nothing to do with each other, and they have not had any contact before. If he is willing to come to the banquet, he must have an idea about this marriage. Wanting to see Gu Zhen in person is also a good opportunity to learn about Gu's family.

Gu Zhen lowered her head and smiled, slightly shy.

thought, talking to second sister is most comfortable.

Gu Jiu can always say exactly what she likes to hear. It will not go too far, making people feel hypocritical. It will not be indifferent, making people feel boring.

Gu Zhen smiled shyly and asked in a low voice, "Second sister, do you think things can be done?"

Gu Jiu smiled, "As long as the big sister behaves well, there is no big problem."

The Haixi Bo Mansion is very good, and the Gu family's family background is not bad, backed by the Hou Mansion.

It should be enough for Gu Zhen to match the young master of Haixi Bofu.

Gu Zhen nodded slightly, "I think so too."

"Ah, I remember now." Gu Lin realized afterwards, "Hexibo Mansion, this is the blind date the eldest lady introduced to the eldest sister when she went to Hou Mansion last time."

Gu Zhen will be in a good mood now, and won't care about Gu Lin who is unresponsive.

Gu Lin continued: "Hexi Bofu came to the banquet, did it mean that they are going to see the big sister. As long as there is no problem, this marriage can be settled."

Gu Zhen smiled reservedly, and at this time she stopped talking.

Gu Jiu understood, and said with a smile: "The fifth sister is right. Hexi Bofu is here to attend the banquet, most likely it is to see the big sister."

Gu Lin followed with excitement, "If the marriage is over, wouldn't the eldest sister marry into the earl's mansion? My God, eldest sister, you are so lucky. The eldest lady from the Hou's mansion next door, the introduction of the marriage is indeed very reliable. "

Gu Zhen squinted at Gu Lin, "The marriage introduced by the Hou Mansion is naturally not bad. Fifth sister, your nonsense problem has to be changed. A big family, you won't marry a master who doesn't keep the door open."

Gu Lin suddenly became unhappy, "Who said I didn't have a door on my lips. Compared to the third sister, I am much better than her. In recent years, the people who have been offended by the third sister have been a string of people. The third sister is fine. , How can I be wrong."

Gu Zhen rolled her eyes, "Fifth sister, you are not dizzy. The third sister is a concubine, you are a concubine, can you compare? The third sister is favored by his wife, but the fifth sister is favored by Aunt Bai.

It's just your marriage, can you rely on Aunt Bai? Who would discuss a daughter's marriage with an aunt? You are really... let me say what is good about you. "

Gu Lin's face stepped down and snorted, the boss was upset.

Gu Jiu persuaded, "The eldest sister will say a few words. The fifth sister is still young, and it will take several years before she kisses her. Waiting for next year, I will invite the nurse to teach her. OK."

Gu Lin turned her anger into joy, and took Gu Jiu's arm, "I like the second elder sister the most. I will definitely get better and better. Maybe the marriage can overwhelm the eldest sister."

After finishing speaking, can laugh at Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen was so angry, Gu Lin deliberately did it right with her.

Gu Zhen sternly said, "Sister Fifth, stop daydreaming. Do you think it's possible if you want to press me? Just with your big mouth, who would like it."

"I'm not a big mouth. In the future, I will fix this problem, just like the second sister said, I will become better and better."

Gu Zhen sneered, "It's easy to change the country and its nature is hard to change. The fifth sister will be able to appreciate my kindness in the future."

The kindness of fart.

Gu Lin pouted, able to hang soy sauce bottles.

Gu Jiu smiled, "Don't quarrel. Marriage matters, each has its own fate. Don't talk about who is overwhelming. You may not be able to live your own life well by marrying a high class. Marrying a low class does not mean that you can live a good life. This life will be miserable."

Gu Lin nodded frequently, "Second Sister is right."

Gu Zhen was a little upset, feeling that Gu Jiu was partial to Gu Lin.

Gu Jiu said first: "Big sister, are you ready for the clothes you will wear on the day of the banquet?"

"what?"

Gu Zhen yelled, "Thank you for the reminder of the second sister. There are still seven or eight days before the banquet, and I don’t know if it will be too late to make new clothes. I remember there are still a few pieces of cloth with my aunt, I have to go and see. ."

It must be too late to find a sewing room to make new clothes at this time. You can only rely on yourself and the maid around you.

After Gu Zhen finished speaking, she got up to say goodbye, and hurried away with her maid.

Gu Lin watched Gu Zhen leave, then took Gu Jiu's hand and asked quietly: "Second Sister, can the marriage of the Haixi Bo Mansion really happen? Can the big sister really get married to the Haixi Bo Mansion?"

Gu Lin scorned Gu Zhen, and she still envied Gu Zhen having such a good relationship.

Gu Jiu said: "Haixi Bofu is willing to come to the banquet, which represents an attitude. As long as the eldest sister is as good as the Houfu said, this marriage should be possible."

"How did Hou Mansion introduce Big Sister?" Gu Lin was very curious.

Gu Jiu smiled, and said: "It's nothing more than good rules, good talents, good reading and writing, and kind temperament. Having been with his father in office, it can be regarded as having a certain degree of knowledge. It is not the kind of little girl who has been stuck in the back house all year round and has no knowledge. girl."

Gu Lin looked at Gu Jiu, "Is that so?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "Such an introduction is enough."

Mr. Gu didn't serve as an official in the northwest from the beginning. Before going to the northwest, he had been an official in the south for a few years.

From the south to the northwest, to the capital, most girls in this era would not have such an experience.

Many people are in one place from birth to death, and they hardly have the opportunity to go out and get insights.

On this point alone, Gu Zhen is better than many people.

Don't watch Gu Zhen and Gu Lin quarreling every day, they seem to have a bad temper. When outside, Gu Zhen behaved well.

When was in the northwest, the wives of the various residences would praise Gu Zhen, saying that she was good, but it was a pity that she came out.

Last time in the Hou Mansion, if it hadn't been for Gu Zhen's mind to get dizzy and Gu Jiu was a sick seed in the arrangement, the Hou Mansion would have a very good impression of Gu Zhen.

Gu Lin bit her lip, a little jealous.

She asked Gu Jiu, "Second sister, can I also rely on the Hou Mansion for my marriage?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "Of course. But the fifth sister, you are still young, so don't think about it yet."

Gu Lin twisted her handkerchief, how could she not think about it.

Aunt Bai whispered in her ear every day, and the sisters had a future one by one, and she would think more.

didn't dare to compare with the sisters who were born out of the siblings, at least had to suppress Gu Zhen.

Gu Lin took a deep breath, "Second Sister, I will work hard from today. I will surpass Big Sister."

Gu Jiu nodded with a smile, "Yes, ambitious."

Gu Lin was full of blood, got up to say goodbye, and went to see Aunt Bai.

She is also a three-minute hot person.

Seeing Aunt Bai, she didn't want to work hard anymore. Anyway, Aunt Bai will arrange everything for her, so why bother.

But, is it really unnecessary to work hard?

Gu Lin struggled with conflicts, and occasionally took out a book to read, practice calligraphy, and learn the truth.

But the duration is not long each time.

Her level of effort was not even up to one-tenth of Gu Jiu's.

Qingmei said that Gu Jiu's hard work is comparable to those of the students who took the imperial examination.

Gu Jiu smiled softly, "How can I compare with those who studied hard in Han Chuang. I read too many books, no one has solid knowledge. By the way, is Cousin Su sure to come for tomorrow's banquet?"

Qingmei nodded, "Master Su Biao gave Er Zhuang a word, he will definitely come over tomorrow's banquet."

Gu Jiu felt relieved, "That's good. Cousin Su has been in the capital for half a year, and I don't know how he is doing?"

"There is money from a girl, so it shouldn't be worse."

"It's not easy to live in the capital. That bit of silver looks too much, but it's not useful."

When the time came, Gu Jiu took Qingmei to the outer courtyard to visit Gu Jue.

After a period of healing, Gu Jun's legs were already able to walk on the ground.

"Brother, how do you feel today?"

"Very good, already able to use strength."

Gu Jiu took out the sewing kit, which contained 108 silver needles.

In order to treat Gu Jue's injury, Gu Jiu specially asked someone to make a silver needle, which abolished her old nose.

Because of her weak body and insufficient strength, Gu Jiu secretly tried acupuncture on herself for fear of puncturing Gu Jue. After confirming that there was no problem, he began to give Gu Jun the needle.

Today is the fifth injection.

Gu Jiu said, "Brother, pull up your trouser legs."

Gu Jue smiled, he didn't resist the needle. The needle is not painful, but it is a bit numb and itchy afterwards.

But every time he got a needle, he felt that his injured leg became more vigorous.

It rained the other day, and he didn't feel any pain in his leg.

Gu Jue rolled up his trouser legs and said, "Today I have to work harder sister again."

Gu Jiu gave him a white look, "Is brother finished reading the book I sent last time?"

Gu Jue smiled, guilty.

Seeing him, you know you haven't finished it.

Gu Jiuduan sat on the chair and made preparations while saying: "After your brother has his legs, don't run outside all day, no one is seen. Anyway, take some time to read a book. Reading more will do you no harm."

Gu Jue grinned, "I listen to my sister."

"It's useless to listen to me while talking. You have to keep the contents of the book in your head."

In the process of speaking, the preparation work is finished.

Disinfect the silver needle and wash your hands.

Look for acupuncture points and start acupuncture.

The silver needle slowly entered the flesh, and Gu Jue didn't feel any pain at all.

"My sister's technique is becoming more and more proficient."

Gu Jiu laughed, "Brother is considered my first patient, and let me practice hands so many times, thank you brother."

"Thank you, why don't you do it? You can do it if you don't die."

"Bah, baah!"

Twenty-one silver needles pierced Gu Jue's injured leg, densely packed, and it looked a little scary.

"For tomorrow's banquet, brother can't drink. You must not drink until your leg injury is completely healed."

Gu Jue said, "Sister, don't worry, I don't like drinking very much. If you let Li Chuan look at me tomorrow, I will definitely not drink."

"Get on well with the brothers and brothers of the Hou Mansion, don't have conflicts with others."

"Sister, don't worry about these things. I'm good at making friends."

Gu Jiu laughed, she was indeed a little worried.

When was in the northwest, Gu Jun was also friends everywhere.

Another hour passed in a blink of an eye.

After taking care of the needle, Li Chuan asked Li Chuan to look at Gu Jue carefully before leaving.

In the garden, Gu Jiu met Gu Yu Gu Si Ge.

Gu Yu is a clan brother, and his family is also in the capital, but not in Baiyi Lane, but in the East City.

Some time ago, he went home and stayed at home for a while.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I have seen Brother Gu. Are you all done at home?"

Gu Yu nodded slightly, "Second sister Lao bothered, everything is fine at home. Tomorrow's banquet, second sister must behave well."

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, not knowing why.

Gu Yu whispered to her, "The master invited not only the Haixibo Mansion, but also the Zhu Guo Gong Mansion, Daihou Mansion, and even Luhou Mansion. All these families agreed to come to the banquet."

Gu Jiu was stunned secretly, Master Gu, is this trying to kill the noble family in one go?

She asked curiously: "How can father invite so many honoraries?"

How can Gu's family have such awesome connections? It's incredible.

Gu Yu thought about it, and then said, “On the one hand, the Hou Mansion is a matchmaking bridge, and on the other hand, the master has been a local official in the northwest for eight years. Those honors, or want to take the opportunity to talk about the situation in the northwest with the master.”

Gu Jiu's eyebrows twitched, and suddenly he felt a sense of fright.

"Gu Si Ge, these noble stances are all anti-..." Prince?

Gu Jiu did not finish the remaining words.

Gu Yu understood it.

He nodded slightly, "Second sister is really smart."

Gu Jiu would rather not be so smart, so he doesn't have to be scared, afraid of this and that.

Sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness!

Nima and the empress are still lying on the bed, and these nobles have jumped out in a hurry, striving to be the vanguard of the anti-prince. Are you really afraid of death?

Is the empress who really is lying on the bed already helpless?

Gu Jiu had heard the rumors about the empress, she was a hero in female middle school, and a heroine who was not shaven. Wen, martial, everything comes.

The queen had fallen out of favor back then, but she still supported her son as a prince, sitting there for twenty years.

Over the years, so many people have opposed the prince. The prince is still in good condition, sitting firmly in that position.

It can be said that the prince has today, one is the credit of the prince’s uncle, the town’s grandpa, and the other is the credit of the empress.

What did Master Gu think?

The controversy for seizure, such a dangerous matter, why he is a capital government official, why should he participate in it?

Is it possible...

Gu Jiu looked at Gu Yu with a dry mouth, "Gu Si Brother, does the Hou Mansion already have a stand?"

Doesn’t it mean that the position of the Hou Mansion is that who is the emperor supports whom? Why did Hou Mansion also jump out? I'm not afraid of death.

Gu Yu nodded slightly, "The Hou Mansion has always had a stand."

Gu Jiu felt a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen in his head.

"The second sister probably doesn't know about the court affairs."

"What happened to the court?"

There must be a major event that stimulates these nobles to connect together and oppose the prince.
