Looking at these familiar faces, Gu Yanfei felt nostalgic and kind, and a pair of sweet dimples appeared on the corners of her lips.

"I propose a toast to everyone!" She toasted to Gu Yuan's cronies one by one.

Only she knows that this glass of wine is for the friendship of her previous life.

"Sister is really good at drinking!" Fan Beiran gave Gu Yanfei a thumbs up.

"That's right! You don't even know whose younger sister Yan Fei is!" Another boy in blue patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder vigorously, and praised both siblings in one sentence.

He salivated and smiled flatteringly, "Sister Yanfei, can you do me a favor? My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, first child, please write Zhang Shun's birth amulet."

"Fei Liu!" Gu Yuan slapped the young man in blue on the arm, clear and loud, "You want to be a father, and you are so unreliable. My sister is not married yet!"

When Gu Yuan said this, he intentionally showed a little coldness at the corners of his brows and eyes, thinking that Fei Liu deserved to be beaten.

"A Yuan, beat him up, don't be shy!" Lu Si provoked from the side.

Mr. Fei Liu turned a blind eye to it, turned a deaf ear to it, and winked at Gu Yanfei flatteringly, "Sister Yanfei, for the sake of my virtuous husband and loving father, please help me."

"You don't know, I've seen your sister-in-law's belly getting bigger and bigger these days, I can't eat, I can't sleep well!"

At the end, he deliberately glanced at Lu Si, Fan Beiran and the others, and added embarrassingly: "These...you who have never been fathers will not know!"

Mr. Fei Liu was besieged by Fan Beiran and Lu Ruan as he wished.

Looking at the few people playing around, Gu Yanfei couldn't help laughing, "No talisman."

As she spoke, she took out an emerald safety buckle the size of a copper coin from her sleeve, tied it with a red string and tied it with a pipa buckle.

"Hold it." Gu Yanfei put the safety buckle into the palm of Mr. Fei Liu and exhorted, "After the baby is born, just hang this safety buckle on the swaddle. Three days after he is born, there will be a small Catastrophe, but there is no danger, and life will be smooth in the future.”

"Sister Yanfei, I accept your good words." Mr. Fei Liu's eyes lit up, and he eagerly took the safety button. into the bosom.

After carefully putting away the security buckle, Mr. Fei Liu recalled Gu Yanfei's words just now, and hurriedly said again: "Three days after birth? Isn't that the day of washing three days?"

"Sister Yanfei, why don't you ask your elder brother to bring you to my house to show your little nephew the day of the third bath?... Oops!"

Mr. Fei Liu stared at Gu Yanfei eagerly, and ended with a cry of pain.

Lu Xi bluntly shook Master Fei Liu's head, and said angrily, "How do you know it's my nephew, not my niece!"

"That's right!" Mr. Fei Liu's expression turned positive, and he quickly admitted his mistake, "Sister Yanfei, my wife is pretty, with a melon-shaped face and a cherry mouth. My niece must be a beauty too. You will definitely like this little niece."

Mr. Fei Liu spoke eloquently, with the air of a queen's wife selling melons and boasting.

"Okay, I will definitely go on the third day of washing." Gu Yanfei readily agreed, his laughter was as clear as a bell, and Mr. Fei Liu was so happy that he hurriedly toasted her with a glass of wine.

Fan Beiran, Lu Si and the others were dazzled by what Young Master Fei said just now, and they exchanged glances with each other.

Fan Beiran picked up the jug and added wine to Young Master Fei Liu's cup, and said with a smile: "Fei Liu, among the few of us, you are the only one who got married and is about to become a father. Today, you have to punish yourself with three cups."

"Why should I be fined three cups?" Mr. Fei Liu refused, and pointed at them and said, "I'm nineteen, older than you guys, and I should get married first, isn't that a matter of course?"

Lu Ru said sourly: "Oh, who told you to have a beautiful daughter soon!!"

The other young masters leaned forward and backward with laughter, booing frequently, almost completely suppressing the melodious sound of the pipa.

Mr. Fei Liu held back for a while, and finally couldn't help laughing, he slapped the table and said, "It's for my daughter, I have to drink."

Everyone was laughing and making noise, eating and drinking, but they were just looking for a name to play around.

After Gu Yanfei left, the young masters drank even more. Fan Beiran was fined three cups for being the latest to come today; Lu Si was also fined three cups for failing to throw the pot.

After a while, several people's faces were stained with alcohol, their cheeks were reddish, their eyes were bright, and they were slightly drunk.

In the midst of drunkenness, the sound of the pipa is becoming more and more urgent, like a waterfall falling rapidly, or like a galloping horse...

"Wow! Wow..."

I don't know from which direction, suddenly there was a thoughtful cry, and it came into the water pavilion through the open window. It was not very clear in the melodious sound of the pipa, and the cry only rang twice. , it stopped abruptly.

"Huh?" Lu Xing's ears moved, and he looked at each other with Fan Beiran, Young Master Fei Liu and others.

This seems to be the cry of a baby?

Fan Beiran looked at Gu Yuan, squinted at him, stared at him, stared at him...

After a while, he suggested enthusiastically: "A Yuan, I heard from Jiao Niang that your sister has a cat, which is very beautiful. How about I bring my lion cat to breed with it?"

"The kittens they give birth to must be pretty!"

"Get out!" Gu Yuan uttered a word, and kicked Fan Beiran casually, "My Qingguang is still young!"

However, what he kicked was not Fan Beiran's people, but the chair under Fan Beiran's buttocks.

The rosewood chair made a "crack" sound, and was kicked by Gu Yuan and jumped. Fan Beiran was afraid that he would fall, so he jumped up quickly, and said with a smile: "I'm going to throw the pot!"

This scene made everyone present laugh out loud.

The sound of "dong dong" throwing pots came one after another.

That baby-like cry didn't resound, and these young masters thought it was meowing or the sound of the wind, and no one cared.

After playing a few rounds of pitching pots, Lu Si was the first to admit defeat: "No more, no more, I'm the only one who is fined wine!"

"Let's play...play..." Lu Ru racked his brains for a while, "play chuiwan!"

As soon as the words fell, Wutong trotted into the water pavilion, walked quickly to Gu Yuan's side, and said: "Eldest Young Master, Fifth Young Master Yue is here..."

"Didn't Yue Jun say he couldn't come today?" Fan Beiran interrupted Wu Tong, "Haha, then he, Yue Jun, will be the last one to arrive today, so he has to punish himself three times... no, six cups!"

Lu Siwai and the others booed repeatedly, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

Wu Tong showed a strange look on his face, and quickly added: "Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master are also here. They said that they happened to meet Fifth Young Master Yue outside, so they came over to congratulate you together."

The second young master that Wutong mentioned was naturally Gu Jian's son-in-law - Gu Xiao.

If Yue Jun hadn't been here today, Wutong would have stopped Gu Xiao, an uninvited guest, long ago.

The originally lively atmosphere in the water pavilion suddenly froze, only the rapid sound of the pipa continued.

All the sons present here knew that the relationship between Gu Yuan and his second uncle was very tense, and the separation of the family even alarmed the emperor. Yue Mo Gu Xiao also knew that it was difficult to get in, so he grabbed Yue Jun and just walked in.

Gu Yuan said lightly: "If he wants to come, let him come."

Indus breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped back to greet the guests.

Lu Si cleared his throat, and smoothed things out with a smile: "Ah Yuan, speaking of it, I haven't seen your second brother for quite a while, is that little brat still crying?"

"I'm not crying anymore, but I'm still a little scared," Fan Beiran interjected while drinking, "I saw him a few days ago, and people slapped him on the face, and he actually held back that breath .”

"Rather than endure it, it's better to cry and make trouble!" Someone commented.

Gu Yuan refused to comment, and everyone continued to punch and drink, laughing and having fun.

After a while, Yue Jun and Gu Xiao strode here under the guidance of Wutong.

Yue Jun was wearing a black straight gown with five bats holding birthday flowers. He was tall and straight, with a clear expression and broad eyes.

In contrast, Gu Xiao, who was two steps behind him, was only as tall as Yue Jun's shoulders, and looked gentle and thin. He was wearing a blue straight gown with cloud patterns. At first glance, he was also a handsome young man.

"I'm late." Yue Jun said loudly, quite self-consciously, and began to drink without saying a word.

Gu Xiao, who was two steps behind, also walked up to Gu Yuan, bowing his hands gracefully: "Brother."

"I heard that the eldest brother will be transferred to the Jinwu Guard soon, and the younger brother specially came to congratulate him." Gu Xiao said, and also sent a congratulatory gift.

After nearly a month of separation, Gu Xiao looked a little more stable, her etiquette, words and deeds were unmistakable, but there was still a sense of disharmony and awkwardness in her expression.

"I have a heart." Gu Yuan's voice was very indifferent, he didn't even look at the congratulatory gift from Gu Xiao, and handed it directly to Wutong.

Fearing that Gu Yuan's next sentence would be an order to chase away guests, Gu Xiao hurriedly sat down beside him, and at the same time saluted Fan Beiran and the others, treating everyone with courtesy.

"Second Brother Fan, I saw you in Tianyin Pavilion the day before yesterday. Unfortunately, you walked too fast, and I didn't have time to stop you." Gu Xiao spoke to Fan Beiran with a smile on his face.

"Really?" Fan Beiran raised his brows, feeling extremely rare in his heart: Gu Xiao has always been a little unscrupulous in the past, and he feels that he is the future Dingyuanhou's son, and he wants to be held and respected by others, and he never disdains to condescend. Honorable.

Gu Xiao smiled and said again: "If Second Brother Fan likes to watch operas, we can go to Tianyin Pavilion together next time, and I will invite Second Brother Fan to watch a theater together..."

He spoke enthusiastically, but Fan Beiran, who had known him for more than ten years, inexplicably felt a strange feeling of hair standing on end, and couldn't help thinking: Did Gu Xiao take the wrong medicine, or his father was hit too hard by the seizure of the title ?

Fan Beiran was in a daze accidentally, and Gu Xiao's words behind him came into his left ear and out of his right ear. It wasn't until Gu Xiao called him "Second Brother Fan" repeatedly that he came back to his senses and raised his sword eyebrows.

Gu Xiao's expression froze for a moment, but she soon squeezed out a smile, pointed out the window and said, "I seem to hear a baby crying, can you hear that?"

baby?

Everyone held back their voices again, this time, Wutong signaled the musician to stop his pipa.

When the inside and outside of the water pavilion became quiet, everyone listened attentively, and vaguely, there seemed to be some crying sounds in the wind, intermittently.

Fan Beiran, Lu Si and the others looked at each other.

"I know!" Gu Xiao clapped his palms and smiled, "Could it be that elder brother has a concubine?"

"This is such a happy event, why didn't elder brother tell me earlier."

In a family like them, the man has a concubine without getting married. This is not something to brag about, but a scandal. moments of people.

Gu Xiao took a sip of the wine slowly, and raised the corners of his lips, waiting for his big cousin to change his face, waiting for Gu Yuan to show embarrassment on his face.

He never liked this eldest cousin. When his eldest uncle was alive, Gu Yuan was the favored son of heaven, which made him elusive, and everyone wanted him to learn from his eldest cousin.

Later, his father inherited the title, and he became the future son of Marquis Dingyuan. She only associates with Gu Yuan, the son of a criminal minister, and never takes him seriously!

He didn't understand, what's so good about Gu Yuan, since he is a criminal minister, he should live in peace and hide, but Gu Yuan always steals his limelight.

And now, the Hou Mansion has lost its title because of Gu Yuan, and he can no longer be the eldest son!

Thinking of this, Gu Xiao's eyes became gloomy little by little, he seemed to be smiling, but his right hand holding the wine glass was tense.

He has endured Gu Yuan for a long time.

Meeting Gu Xiao's provocative gaze, Gu Yuan smiled, his laughter was as clear as the wind in the pine, and his slender fingers casually played with the small white porcelain wine glass, calling him by name: "Gu Xiao, before you go out today Did you forget to take your medicine?"

"..." Gu Xiao was taken aback.

Before he could react, Fan Beiran, Lu Si and the others had already burst out laughing, and Lu Si laughed until tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.

Gu Xiao took a moment to realize that Gu Yuan was saying that he was sick.

The boy's face turned red little by little.

Lu seemed to add fuel to the fire, jokingly said: "Gu Xiao, since you are sick, you can't stop taking this medicine."

"Yes, yes." Young Master Fei Liu nodded repeatedly, "Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted, and if not done, the illness will get worse."

They spoke in a serious manner, as if Gu Xiao was really sick, and they were just giving advice out of good intentions.

Fan Beiran sighed, "Gu Xiao, you're only fourteen, aren't you forty? Your memory is so bad that you don't even remember what happened last year. You should take some medicine."

Gu Xiao: "..."

Lu Ruo enviously said: "Ah Yuan was in the southwest for most of last year, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, how comfortable. It's not like me!"

They all knew that Gu Yuan went to the Southwest with the army in the first half of last year, and he was not in the capital at all. The military regulations were strict, so how could he have time to give birth to a bastard!

Fan Beiran also envied Gu Yuan, "I heard that the beauties in the Southwest are very affectionate and exotic, they are different from the beauties in the capital..."

"I also went to the Southwest three years ago..." Mr. Fei Liu said with a bit of nostalgia, and then he burst out laughing, and joked, "This damn place in the Southwest, you can still make ends meet after a month, half a year. It's hell on earth!"

"Ah Yuan, it's really hard work for you!" The other son also patted Gu Yuan's shoulder sympathetically.

Everyone laughed at Yan Yan.

The corners of Gu Xiao's eyes twitched, and he almost crushed the wine glass in his hand.

After being silent for a while, he took two deep breaths, and tried his best to bring the topic back: "I was just joking, but Second Brother Fan, Sixth Brother Fei, Fourth Brother Lu, you really didn't hear the baby cry sound?"

"I heard the cry as if it was not far away..."

He put down the wine glass in his hand, and solemnly suggested to Gu Yuan: "Brother, in my opinion, it's better to investigate this matter, lest Xiaoxiao sneak into the mansion, and the eldest sister and second sister are still in the mansion. Not married yet..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but none of the young masters present were fools, and they could all understand Gu Xiao's unfinished words.

This kid is not "ill", but "crazy".

He was looking for trouble for nothing, and he couldn't get involved with Gu Yuan, so he wanted to pour dirty water on the cousins, was it because he hadn't been beaten for a long time? !

Fan Beiran and the others looked at Gu Xiao without a word.

"Enough!" Gu Yuan's face instantly stiffened, as if covered with a layer of frost, and coldly yelled at Gu Xiao, "Gu Xiao, if you can't speak, you don't need to say it!"

While speaking, a cold and sharp murderous aura overwhelmingly pressed towards Gu Xiao, and Gu Xiao shivered involuntarily.

Gu Yuan ordered Wutong: "Send him out."

"..." Gu Xiao's face turned dark, and his face sank like water. He never expected that Gu Yuan would be so merciless and embarrass himself in front of these noble sons of the capital.

"Who dares!" Gu Xiao was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out, he slapped his palm on the wine table, and shouted almost hysterically.

He proudly held out his chest, and he didn't believe anyone would dare to drive him away!

Gu Xiao completely forgot that today is different from the past, this place is no longer the "Dingyuan Hou's Mansion" a month ago.

Although Gu Xiao was not established as the eldest son in the past, he was the only legitimate son of Master Hou Gu Jian. Everyone in the house felt that this was a matter of time, and all the servants respected him more than Gu Yuan.

But now, this mansion is still surnamed Gu, but it is not the world of the second bedroom.

This mansion has returned to the hands of the long house, and now the owner of this mansion is Gu Yuan.

As soon as Gu Yuan gave an order, several guards of the Gu residence immediately came over, looked down at Gu Xiao condescendingly, and stretched out their hands to make a petition.

"Second Young Master Tang, please." The chief guard said politely, reminding Gu Xiao with words that he is no longer the Second Young Master of this mansion, and the family has been separated.

"..." Gu Xiao almost didn't say presumptuous, but finally bit the word on the tip of his tongue.

Gu Xiao's complexion became even worse, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he stared at Gu Yuan unhappily.

The chief guard urged again: "Please."

"Ha!" Gu Xiao smiled, her thin lips crooked.

There was undisguised malice in that smile.

"Let's go!" Gu Xiao got up, walked away with a flick of his sleeves, gave Gu Yuan a gloomy look, and walked away with his head held high.

Until Gu Xiao walked out of the small garden, he could still hear chatter and laughter coming from the direction of the water pavilion behind.

Obviously, when Gu Xiao came or went, they were not affected in the slightest. They should eat, drink, play, and boo at all...

Gu Xiao gritted her teeth fiercely, stopped for a while, then walked forward briskly, and went out from the west corner gate of the mansion under the escort of several Gu mansion guards.

"Boom!"

The corner door was slammed shut, causing Gu Xiao's heart to tremble slightly.

It was obviously his home, but it was taken away by his elder brother Gu Yuan, and he was driven out. was turned away.

The muscles on Gu Xiao's face were tense, and there was a trace of aggrieved mixed with an angry expression. He gritted his teeth and stared hard.

He got into his own carriage and told the driver, "Go to Beizhen Fusi."

The coachman was taken aback for a moment, his expression changed slightly, but he still complied.

The horsewhip was slapped, and the carriage sped away, going to one of the most feared places in the capital without stopping.

The plaque of "Beizhen Fusi" is hung high on the gate. Just looking at it like this makes people feel a bone-chilling chill. This place is like the gate of hell. Outside the gate is the world, and inside the gate is the eighteenth floor. hell.

As soon as the two Jinyi guards guarding the gate saw Gu Xiao, they stopped him with a horizontal knife.

"Not everyone can trespass on the most important place in Beizhen Fusi!" One of the square-faced Jinyi guards looked down at Gu Xiao from the top of the steps. Pulling out the scabbard, Gu Xiao's blood splashed on the spot.

Gu Xiao took a deep breath, puffed up her chest, mustered up her courage, and said loudly, "I'm here to report!"

"First decide that Gu Yuan, the son of Marquis Gu Ce, is harboring criminals from the imperial court!"

His voice was quite loud, and he wished that the people inside and the people on the street could hear him.

Jin Yiwei naturally knew who Gu Yuan was, and also knew that Gu Yuan had just been transferred from Luanyiwei to Jinwuwei under the order of the eldest prince, and he would take up his post tomorrow morning.

Obviously, the First Prince wanted to entrust Gu Yuan with a heavy responsibility.

The square-faced Jin Yiwei's eyes flickered, but his face was still straight, and he asked in an indifferent voice: "Who is harboring?"

"The remnants of the Yu family."

Gu Xiao spoke these four words loudly.
