Chapter 105: Frightened

"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 and smiled: "What's the matter with Big Sister and Fifth Sister? Seeing how angry you are, who makes you unhappy?"
Gu Zhen and Gu Lin stared at each other, and then they snorted together.
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Big sister and fifth sister, don't let each other breathe. They are all sisters. Tell me what contradiction there is."
"I have nothing to say to her." Gu Lin said first.
Gu Zhen smiled, "It just so happens that my fifth sister and I have nothing to say, so this saves a lot of things."
Gu Lin frowned and squinted 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 disappeared.
She said to Gu Jiu: "Second sister, you heard it with your own ears. She talked to me like this, without any rules."
"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. Humph, just your attitude, there is no way."
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 when quarreling, 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 suddenly and said to Gu Zhen, "Congratulations, big sister."
Haixibo Mansion and Gu Mansion have nothing to do with each other, and they have never had contact before. If you are willing to come to the banquet, you 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.
I thought about it, talking to my 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 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." Gu Lin realized afterwards, "Hexibo Mansion, this is the blind date the eldest lady introduced to her eldest sister last time in Hou Mansion."
Gu Zhen will be in a good mood now, and won't care about Gu Lin who is slow to respond.
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 reserved, and she stopped talking at this time.
Gu Jiu understood, and said with a smile: "The fifth sister is right. Hexi Bofu came to the banquet, most likely to see her big sister."
Gu Lin followed with excitement, "If the marriage is done, wouldn't the eldest sister marry into the earl's mansion? My God, eldest sister, you are so lucky. The eldest lady of the Hou's mansion next door, the marriage introduced is really 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 mouth. Compared to the third sister, I am much better than her. In these years, the people who have been offended by the third sister are a string of people. The third sister is fine. , How can I be wrong."
Gu Zhen rolled her eyes and said, "Fifth sister, you are not fainted. The third sister is the concubine, you are the 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...let me tell you what is good. "
Gu Lin's face fell 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 be several years before she kisses her. Waiting for next year, I will invite the mother to teach her, and the fifth sister will follow her to learn the rules, and she will get more and more. 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 that, I could 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? With your big mouth, who would like it."
"I'm not a big mouth. In the future, I will fix this problem, as the second sister said, I will become better and better."
Gu Zhen sneered, "It's easy to change in nature and hard to change. Five sisters will be able to appreciate my kindness in the future."
The kindness of fart.
Gu Lin pouted her mouth and could hang soy sauce bottles.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't quarrel. Marriage matters have their own destiny. Don't talk about who is overwhelming. You may not be able to live your own life well by marrying a high class, and marrying a low one does not mean that This life will be miserable."
Gu Lin nodded frequently, "Second sister is right."
Gu Zhen was a little unhappy, 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’s 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. 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 in a whisper, "Second sister, can the marriage of Haixi Bo Mansion really happen? Big sister can really marry Haixi Bo Mansion?"
Gu Lin dismissed Gu Zhen, and she still envied Gu Zhen having such a good relationship.
Gu Jiu said: "Hexi Bofu is willing to come to the banquet, which represents an attitude. As long as the big sister is as good as the Houfu said, this marriage should be successful."
"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, reading and literacy, 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 one 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."
Master Gu didn't serve as an official in the northwest at the beginning. Before going to the northwest, he had been an official in the south for several 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 have almost no chance to go out and get insights.
On this point alone, Gu Zhen beats 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 I was in the northwest, the wives of the various houses would praise Gu Zhen, saying that she was good, but it was a pity that she was out of work.
Last time in the Hou Mansion, if it hadn't been for Gu Zhen's mind to be 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, don't think about it now."
Gu Lin twisted her handkerchief, how could she not think about it.
Aunt Bai whispers in her ear every day, and the sisters have a future one by one, she will think more.
I didn't dare to compare with the sisters who were born out of the siblings, at least I had to suppress Gu Zhen.
Gu Lin took a deep breath, "Second sister, I will work hard from today. I will surpass my big sister."
Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, "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 one-tenth of Gu Jiu's.
Qingmei said that Gu Jiu's hard work is comparable to those of students who take the imperial examination.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "How can I compare with those who studied hard in Han Chuang. I read too many books and 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, so I don't know how he is doing?"
"There is money from a girl, so it should be fine."
"It's not easy to live in the capital. That bit of silver looks too much, but it's not useful."
When the time was up, Gu Jiu took Qingmei to the outer courtyard to visit Gu Yu.
After a period of healing, Gu Ling's legs can already 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 Yu'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, she was afraid that Gu Yu might be broken, so Gu Jiu secretly tried acupuncture on herself. After confirming that there was no problem, he began to give Gu Ling the needle.
Today is the fifth injection.
Gu Jiu said, "Brother, pull up your trouser legs."
Gu Ling smiled, he didn't resist the needle. The needle is not painful, but it is a bit numb afterwards.
But every time he got a needle, he felt that his injured leg got stronger.
It rained the other day, and he didn't feel any pain in his leg.
Gu Ling rolled up his trouser legs and said, "I have to work harder sister again today."
Gu Jiu gave him a white glance, "Is brother finished reading the book I sent last time?"
Gu Ling smiled, guilty.
Seeing him, you know you haven't finished it.
Gu Jiuduan sat on the chair, preparing for the work, and said: "After your brother's legs are healed, 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 Ling 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 getting a needle.
The silver needle slowly entered the flesh, and Gu Ling didn't feel any pain at all.
"My sister's technique is getting more and more skilled."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Brother is considered my first patient, and let me practice hands so many times, thank you brother."
"Why do you thank you. Just stick it, it won't die."
"Bah, baah!"
Twenty-one silver needles pierced Gu Ling's injured leg, densely packed, looking a little scary.
"For tomorrow's banquet, brother can't drink. You must not drink until your leg injury is completely healed."
Gu Ling 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 elder brothers and younger brothers of the Hou Mansion, don't have conflicts with others."
"Sister, don't worry about these things. Make friends, I'm good."
Gu Jiu laughed, she was indeed a little worried.
When I was in the northwest, Gu Ling was also friends everywhere.
Another hour passed in a blink of an eye.
After taking care, the needle was taken, and Li Chuan was told to look at Gu Wei carefully before leaving.
In the garden, Gu Jiu met Gu Yu Gu Si Ge.
Gu Yu is a clan brother, 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. For tomorrow's banquet, the 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?
She asked curiously: "How can father invite so many honoraries?"
It's incredible that Gu's family has such awesome connections.
Gu Yu thought about it and 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 didn't finish the remaining words.
Gu Yu understood.
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, the empress is still lying on the bed, these nobles have jumped out anxiously, striving to be the vanguard of the anti-prince. Are you really afraid of death?
Is the empress lying on the bed really helpless?
Gu Jiu had heard the rumors about the empress, she was a hero in female middle school, and the heroine who won't let her beard. 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 should he be involved in the capital government?
Is it possible...
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Yu with a dry tongue, "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 hypoxia in his head and was a little dizzy.
"Second sister shouldn't know about the court affairs, right?"
"What happened to the court?"
There must be a major event that stimulates these nobles to connect together and oppose the prince.
