317 Hiding(1/2)
Gu Yanfei looked at these familiar faces and felt nostalgic and intimate. A pair of sweet smiles appeared on the corners of his lips.
"I'll give you a drink!" She generously toasted all the friends of Gu Yuan.
Only she knew that this glass of wine was for the friendship of her previous life.
"Sister is so good at drinking!" Fan Beiran gesturing to Gu Yanfei.
"That's it! You don't even look at whose sister Yan Fei is!" Another young man in blue patted Gu Yuan's shoulder vigorously, and praised both the brother and sister in one sentence.
He salivated his face and smiled flatteringly, "Sister Yan Fei, can you help me? My wife is about to give birth to her first child. Let me write a talisman for birth."
"Fei Liu!" Gu Yuan slapped the young man in blue on the arm, crisp and loud, "You want to be a father, but it's so unreliable. My sister is not married yet!"
When Gu Yuan said this, he deliberately put a little coldness on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, thinking that Fei Liu was just beating.
"A Yuan, beat him up, don't be polite!" Lu Si instigated from the side.
Mr. Fei Liu turned a blind eye, turned a deaf ear to Gu Yanfei, and shook his eyes with a flattering look, "Sister Yanfei, for the sake of my kindness and kindness of a virtuous husband, please help me."
"You don't know. I've seen your sister-in-law's belly grow bigger these days. I can't eat and I can't sleep!"
Finally, he deliberately glanced at the road. Fan Beiran and others glanced at him and added with a very beating: "These... you guys who have never been fathers will not know about it!"
Mr. Fei Liu was besieged by Fan Beiran and Lu as he wished.
Looking at the playful people, Gu Yanfei couldn't help laughing, "No need for talismans."
As she said that, she took out a copper coin-sized jade peace buckle from her sleeve, strung it with a red rope, and tied it with a pipa buckle.
"Hold it." Gu Yanfei put the peace lock in the palm of Mr. Fei Liu and reminded him, "After the baby is born, just hang the peace lock in the cradle. He will have a small disaster three days after he is born, but there will be no danger and his life will be smooth afterwards."
"Sister Yan Fei, I'll accept your good words." Young Master Fei Liu's eyes lit up, and he eagerly took the peace buckle. He first put it in his sleeve bag, but he felt worried, so he quickly turned to the peace buckle in his arms.
After carefully packing the Ping An Counter, Mr. Fei Liu recalled Gu Yanfei's words just now and said hurriedly: "Three days after birth? Isn't that the day when I wash my third day?"
"Sister Yan Fei, why would you let your elder brother bring you to my house to show your nephew that day?...Oh!"
Young Master Fei Liu stared at Gu Yanfei eagerly, and ended with a painful cry.
Lu Si shook the back of Young Master Fei Liu's head without hesitation, and said angrily: "How do you know it's a little nephew, not a little niece!"
"Yes!" Mr. Fei Liu looked upright and admitted his mistakes very quickly. "Sister Yan Fei, my wife looks good, with a melon-shaped face and a cherry-mouthed mouth. My daughter must be a beauty too. You will definitely like this little niece."
Young Master Fei Liu said something eloquently, and he was quite tempted by Wang Po to sell melons and boast about himself.
"Okay, I will definitely go on the day of the third day of the silence." Gu Yanfei responded readily, and his laughter was as crisp as a bell. Young Master Fei Liu was so happy that he quickly gave her a glass of wine.
Fan Beiran, Lu Si and others were sarcastic by the words of Mr. Fei Liu just now, and exchanged glances with each other.
Fan Beiran picked up the wine pot and added wine to Mr. Fei Liu's cup. He said with a smile: "Fe Liu, among us, you are the only one who gets married and are about to be a father. Just for these two points, you must punish yourself three times today."
"Why should I be punished by three cups?" Young Master Fei Liu stopped and raised his hand to point at them and said, "I am already nineteen, older than you, I will get married first, isn't that natural?"
The road seemed to be sour, "Oh, who told you to have a beautiful daughter soon!!"
The other young men laughed so hard that they leaned back and forth, and started to cheer, almost completely suppressing the melodious sound of the pipa.
Mr. Fei Liu held it in for a while, and finally couldn't help laughing, slamming the table and saying, "What I said is, I have to drink for my daughter."
Everyone laughed and joking, eating and drinking, but in fact they were just looking for a name to play.
After Gu Yanfei left, the young men drank even harder. Fan Beiran was fined three cups because he came the latest today; Lu Si was fined three cups because he missed the pot.
After a while, several people's faces were stained with a little drunkenness, their cheeks were slightly red, their eyes were bright, and they were a little drunk.
The wine was in full swing, and the sound of the pipa was getting faster, like a waterfall falling down, and like a galloping horse...
"Wow! Wow..."
I don’t know which direction I suddenly heard a thoughtless cry, which came through the open window into the water pavilion. It was not very clear in the melodious sound of the pipa. The cry only sounded twice and then came to an abrupt end.
"Huh?" Lu's ears moved and looked at each other with Fan Beiran, Mr. Fei Liu and others.
This seems to be the baby's cry?
Fan Beiran looked at Gu Yuan, stared at him, stared at him, and stared at him...
After a while, he suggested enthusiastically: "Ayuan, I heard from Jiao Niang that your sister has a cat, which is so beautiful. Why don't I bring my lion cat to match it?"
"The kittens they gave birth to must be as beautiful as immortals!"
"Get out!" Gu Yuan spit out a word and kicked Fan Beiran casually, "My family is still young!"
However, he was not kicking Fan Beiran's man, but the chair under Fan Beiran's butt.
The rosewood chair made a "knock" sound and was kicked by Gu Yuan. Fan Beiran was afraid that he would fall, so he jumped up quickly and said with a smile: "I'll go throw a pot!"
This scene made everyone present laugh.
The sound of "dongdong" throwing the pot comes one after another.
The sound of the baby crying did not sound again, and these young men just thought it was a cat's meow or the sound of the wind, and no one cared about it.
After playing for a few rounds of throwing pots, Lu seemed to be the first to admit defeat: "I won't play anymore, I'm the only one who punishes the wine!"
"If you have the kindness, let's play... play..." Lu Si racked his brains and thought for a while, "play with Chuiwan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wutong trotted into the water pavilion, walked quickly to Gu Yuan, and replied, "Young Master, Mr. Yue Wu is here..."
"Didn't Yue Jun say that he can't come today?" Fan Beiran interrupted Wutong's words, "Haha, then today is the last one of Yue Jun. He has to punish himself three times... No, he will punish himself six times!"
The road is so strange that others are afraid that the world will be in chaos and make excuses.
Wutong showed a strange look on her face and quickly added: "The eldest young master, the second young master has also come. She said she happened to meet Mr. Yue Wu by chance outside, so she came here to congratulate you."
The second young master Wutong mentioned naturally refers to Gu Jian’s legitimate son - Gu Xiao.
If Yue Jun was not there today, Wutong would have stopped Gu Xiao, the uninvited guest.
The originally lively atmosphere in the water pavilion suddenly became stiff, with only the rapid sound of the pipa.
All the young men here knew that Gu Yuan and his second uncle had a very stalemate relationship, and the separation of the family even alarmed the emperor. Gu Xiao knew it was difficult to enter the door, so he caught Yue Jun and simply walked in.
Gu Yuan said lightly: "He is coming, let him come."
Wutong breathed a sigh of relief and stepped down to welcome the guests.
Lu Si cleared his throat and smiled and smoothed out, "A Yuan, I have not seen your second brother for a few days. Is that little kid still crying?"
"I don't cry anymore, but I'm still a little scared," Fan Beiran interrupted while drinking, "I saw him a few days ago, and people slapped him in the face, and he actually let down that breath."
"Instead of enduring it, it's better to cry and make a fuss!" I don't know who commented.
Gu Yuan refused to comment, and everyone continued to drink and had fun laughing.
After a while, Yue Jun and Gu Xiao, led by Wutong, strode towards this side.
Yue Jun was wearing a black five-bat holding a birthday ball with straight flowers, tall and straight, with a sparse expression and wide 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 cloud pattern and was straight. At first glance, he was also a handsome young man.
"I'm late." Yue Jun said loudly, quite consciously, and began to punish the wine without saying a word.
Gu Xiao, who was two steps behind, also walked up to Gu Yuan and bowed appropriately: "Brother."
"I heard that my elder brother is about to be transferred to Jinwu Guard, so I came here to congratulate you." Gu Xiao said, and even gave him a gift.
After being separated for nearly a month, Gu Xiao looked a little more steady. His etiquette and words and deeds made people unable to make mistakes, but his expression still had a sense of disharmony.
"I'm interested." Gu Yuan's voice was very indifferent. He didn't even look at the gift Gu Xiao gave him, and gave it to Wutong directly.
Fearing that Gu Yuan's next sentence would be the order to expel the guests, Gu Xiao quickly sat down beside him, and at the same time saluted Fan Beiran and others, treating everyone politely.
"Brother Fan, I saw you in Tianyin Pavilion the day before yesterday. What a pity, you walked too fast and I didn't have time to call you." Gu Xiao talked to Fan Beiran with a smile.
"Is that true?" Fan Beiran raised his eyebrows and felt very rare in his heart: Gu Xiao has always been a little uncensored before, and he realized that he was the future Prince of Dingyuan, so he wanted others to hold it and respect it, and never despise the nobles.
Gu Xiao smiled and said, "If Brother Fan likes to watch the show, we can go to Tianyin Pavilion together next time. I'll invite Brother Fan to watch the show 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 its back. He couldn't help but wonder: Did Gu Xiao take the wrong medicine, or was his father's defeat of his title too much?
Fan Beiran accidentally flashed a little. Gu Xiao's words came out of his left ear and his right ear. It was not until Gu Xiao repeatedly called him "Second Brother Fan" that he came to his senses and raised his sword eyebrows.
Gu Xiao's expression froze for a moment, but soon he squeezed out a smile and pointed to the window and said, "I seem to hear a baby crying, have you heard it?"
Baby?
Everyone kept their voices again. This time, Wutong signaled the musician to stop the pipa.
When the inside and outside of the water pavilion became quiet, everyone listened with their ears. In a vague way, there seemed to be some crying sounds in the wind, intermittently.
Fan Beiran, Lu Si and others looked at each other.
"I understand!" Gu Xiao smiled with his hands, "Can I have a concubine son?"
"Why didn't my brother tell me earlier about this happy event?"
In families like them, men have concubines before getting married. This is not something to be praised for, but rather a scandal. Once it is spread, the rules of the family will not marry their daughter to such unruly families.
Gu Xiao took a sip of wine slowly and raised the corners of his lips, waiting for his cousin to change his face, and waiting for Gu Yuan's face to show embarrassment.
He never liked this cousin. When his uncle was alive, Gu Yuan was the pride of heaven, which made him out of reach. Everyone asked him to learn from his cousin.
Later, his father inherited the title and became the future son of Dingyuan. He should have been the object of the stars and the moon. However, like a road, Fan Beiran and Yue Jun, the famous and surnamed sons in the capital, still only interacted with Gu Yuan, the son of the criminal minister, and never took him seriously!
