Yuhengyuan was very lively on this day. As soon as Grandma Li left, Gu Yuan sent someone else. Not only people came, but also some scattered things. Gu Yuan almost thought of something.

It was sent to them all at once.

Tea, incense, the four treasures of the study, chessboard, felt, sepak takraw balls, glass beads, goat's milk, jade pendants, jade finger rings... Just packing up these trivial things made Gu Yanfei feel happy.

Juan Bi kept counting:

"This is the finest hair tip. I have to collect it myself."

"This jade pendant and chessboard are for girls."

"These should be for Qingguang."

"..."

"Meow!" The milk cat was deeply satisfied with this and slapped the takraw ball with one paw.

The small takraw ball rolled back and forth as the milk cat chased it, and the clear ringing of the bells was endless.

Gu Yanfei fell asleep to the sound of bells and was woken up by the sound of bells.

She had breakfast slowly, and then Grandma Li led her to the Gu family's ancestral hall on the west side of the Hou Mansion.

The white stone corridor leading to the ancestral hall is clean, with green pines and cypresses planted on both sides. It is solemn and quiet. There is a plaque hanging at the entrance of the building in front, with the four characters "Gu's Ancestral Hall" written in flying colors.

The weather today is very good, the sky is blue and the golden sunshine is pouring down. The five main rooms stand quietly under the blue sky and white clouds, with their cornices raised.

When Gu Yanfei arrived, Baoxia was already full of people dressed in fragrant clothes. The female family members in each room of the Hou Mansion were all there, laughing again and again, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Second Miss, let's go this way." Nanny Li walked in front and led Gu Yanfei the way with a smile. She was kind but not overly enthusiastic.

Everyone in Baoxia probably noticed Gu Yanfei's arrival. Dozens of scorching eyes flooded towards Gu Yanfei, some of them looked at him, some were curious, some were scornful, and some were indifferent.

Mrs. Gu also looked at Gu Yanfei with burning eyes, and the words Gu Yuan said to her yesterday sounded in her ears again:

"Grandma, now that my sister is back, shouldn't we open the ancestral hall as soon as possible? I think it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Why not choose tomorrow?"

Mrs. Gu narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips tightly into a straight line.

In order to take care of the marriage of the Fang family, she originally planned to open an ancestral hall and change the family tree as soon as she returned to Beijing, but it was different for her to bring it up than for Gu Yuan to speak. The latter made her feel coerced.

Mrs. Gu was not very happy because Gu Yuan had always been very filial to her second granddaughter before she came back.

Gu Yanfei's eyes scanned the people in front of him, and the familiar faces matched the names in his memory one by one.

Her steps stopped outside Baoxia, and the sunlight coated her whole body with a faint golden halo.

The morning light fell into her eyes, making her pupils sparkle, and her fair and jade-like skin shone like pearls.

She has a beautiful face, a noble demeanor, and a temperament as bright as the sun and stars in her bones.

Several girls from the Gu family hid behind the ladies and whispered to each other quietly. Words like "eldest brother", "second sister", "like eldest brother" occasionally floated over intermittently.

"Second sister." The first person to speak was Gu Yunchuang.

She smiled sweetly, with a pair of shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks. She was gentle, generous, and approachable.

"What a handsome little girl!" A beautiful middle-aged woman in her early thirties with an oval face praised Gu Yanfei affectionately, with a gentle smile on her fair face, "This is the second niece, she looks really like my sister-in-law...

…I am your second aunt.”

This beautiful woman is Mrs. Wang of the Marquis of Dingyuan.

Gu Yanfei blessed Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Wang: "Mrs. Mrs., Second Madam."

This title made everyone's expressions a little subtle, and they secretly exchanged glances. I don't know if this girl is stupid or too understanding of rules.

Mrs. Gu's face was as dark as water, she directly directed her unhappiness towards Gu Yuan onto Gu Yanfei, and said in an icy tone: "Come earlier next time."

As she said that, she glanced at the few strands of yellow and white hair on Gu Yanfei's shoulders, frowned, and said: "Get rid of that cat of yours quickly. That cat is weird and must be a monster!"

When she thought about a cat in the house, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Gu Yanfei smiled and said nothing, and sat down minding her own business.

"..." Mrs. Gu's heart was filled with evil fire, and her eyes were filled with undercurrents.

In a stiff atmosphere, a woman in gray clothes hurriedly came to report that the Marquis, the patriarch and the others had arrived, so all the female relatives, including Mrs. Gu, looked straight ahead.

The five doors in front were wide open, and a group of men of different ages and appearances walked in one after another.

Walking at the front was an old man in Xuanyi who was in his sixties, with gray hair and beard. His steps were vigorous and energetic.

"I'm really bothering my uncle today." Walking alongside the old man was a man in blue robe who was about thirty years old. He was tall and had handsome features, but unfortunately he was a little bloated. He was Gu Jian, the current Marquis of Dingyuan.

Gu Jian treated the Gu clan leader with great respect.

"As it should be, one family should not speak the same language as the other families." The patriarch said, stroking his beard and smiling broadly.

The three masters from the other three rooms of the Hou Mansion followed closely behind, and they were all talking to the clan elders, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Gu Yuan followed behind without saying a word. He was only seventeen years old. His handsome face was still a bit childish, but he was tall and tall and stood out among the crowd. There was an air of arrogance in his every move.

The female relatives gathered around Mrs. Gu and took a few steps forward to greet each other politely.

After a while, everyone sat down in the front hall of the ancestral hall. Gu Jian and the clan leader sat side by side at the top, Mrs. Gu was at the bottom, and everyone else also took their seats one by one.

In such a big occasion, most people were not qualified to speak at all, and most of them remained silent. Some played with their handkerchiefs, some were distracted, some secretly yawned, and some quietly looked at Gu Yanfei.

After some pleasantries, Mrs. Gu got down to business and raised her hand to point to Gu Yanfei, who was sitting next to her.

"Patriarch, this girl is the twin sister of Sister Kui. Back then, their mother Xie had a difficult delivery and passed away after giving birth to them two."

"You also know that at that time, the border area was in chaos, and the wet nurse took care of the two sisters alone. She was unable to do anything, and accidentally lost the girl. She only came to the capital with Sister Kui in her arms..."

Mrs. Gu had already made up her rhetoric, and she continued to talk regardless of everyone's reaction.

The clan leader and clan elders looked at each other, exchanging glances silently.

The story of these twins is really outrageous. It was obviously made up, but no one questioned it.

Mrs. Gu had already been angry with the clan leader and the others. Yesterday, she asked her cronies to drop some hints. To be honest, the clan leader and the others were just going through the motions when they came here today.

It doesn't matter what the truth is, the key is that this matter is beneficial to their entire Gu family.
