Chapter 177: Invited by Beauty
After hearing this, Xiang Zhirou felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She froze on the spot and was at a loss.
Then his cheeks turned red, his eyes fogged up, and an uncontrollable feeling of panic surged in his heart.
"Are these words true?" Xiang Zhirou's eagerness in her words was beyond words.
When Xiao Hong saw this, she immediately became anxious and said quickly: "Don't worry, Miss. Gu everyone said that they are in love with each other and have not agreed to any marriage contract."
"Those matchmakers often come here to take advantage of their happiness and then return after their bad luck."
Hearing this, the panic and anxiety on Xiang Zhirou's face subsided a little, but she still frowned and said: "No, I can't sit still and wait for death like this anymore."
"I will compile a letter and send it to the Gu Mansion in Xiang Yun's name."
"Xiang...Xiang Yun? Who is Xiang Yun?"
Xiaohong was obviously stunned when she heard this.
"Don't ask any questions, just do it."
"promise."
…
Gu Mansion.
Spring has passed, which means that the harsh spring cold in early autumn has passed, and the weather is gradually getting warmer.
In Huainan City, people's clothing gradually changed from heavy and bloated mink fur and brocade velvet to light and comfortable.
For example, at this moment, Gu Beichuan, wearing a moon-white silk dress, was lying leisurely on the lounge chair in the main hall, feeling the warm spring sun.
Over the past few days, Feihong's business has gradually been on the right track, with each department performing its duties and cooperating with each other.
And his few incompetent disciples all left high school one after another, and they had nothing to do for a while, and it was rare for them to relax.
Of course, since the news about Shen Liangfu and others' high school came out, people have been visiting the Gu family all the time.
It's just that they are all blocked out of the house by Uncle Fu, and only those with close friendship can see his true appearance.
"Master, someone wants to see you."
"No." Hearing this, Gu Beichuan frowned slightly. He really said Cao Cao and Cao Cao were here, but the warm sunshine in spring is so rare. This kind of time is extremely pleasant and cannot be disturbed by others.
"He's from Prince Jing's Mansion."
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan frowned even more. He thought to himself that no wonder Uncle Fu couldn't make up his mind. It was someone from Prince Jing's palace.
But as far as he knew, he and Prince Jing Xiang Qingfeng had no contact since that famous poetry meeting in Huainan, but he didn't know why someone came to Prince Jing's palace at this moment.
"Please come to the living room and I will see you in person."
No matter who the visitor is, the signboard of Prince Jing's Mansion deserves his caution.
After all, no matter how famous he is now, he is just a white guy.
Compared with Prince Jing of the current dynasty, he is really like a cloud of mud.
However, if Shen Liangfu and others take office one after another, Feihong will have connections in the court, and by then, he will not need to be so timid about many things.
After a while, Gu Mansion's living room.
Gu Beichuan looked at the person coming and frowned.
Because he vaguely remembered this person. When Xiang Bai came to Feihong Restaurant, this woman was with him and her words were quite harsh.
"Slave Xiaohong, I have met Mr. Gu."
If we talk about the past, Xiaohong still thought that Gu Beichuan was nothing. Although she was a maid, she was born in Prince Jing's palace. In front of him, it would not be a problem to act more unruly.
Now I absolutely no longer have such thoughts.
This is a great talent who can teach the number one scholar! The most popular people in the Huainan literary world, even my own young lady, are attracted to him.
Maybe, that’s my future uncle! How can I offend him!
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan also bowed his hands and did not look down upon her because she was a maid.
"May I ask Miss Xiao Hong, why did you come to look for me?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just that my young lady has edited a letter and I have been specially asked to hand it over to you all."
"Your lady?"
"My young lady is Xiang Zhi...Xiang Yun."
"It turns out to be Miss Xiang Yun." Gu Beichuan recalled the pretty figure he met at the annual party in his mind, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
After receiving the letter and opening it, I was immediately surprised.
"Miss Xiang Yun hosted a family banquet and invited me to the banquet?" Gu Beichuan looked surprised, so he asked.
Xiaohong was also surprised when she heard this, but remembering the shy look on the young lady's face when she handed the letter to him, she nodded and said, "Not bad."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he fell into embarrassment for a moment.
You know, the people of Daqian are simple and honest.
A normal woman should not leave the house or even take a step forward. If someone sees her body, her innocence will be ruined. At worst, she will shed tears all day long, at worst, she will commit suicide.
In this context, prepare a family dinner and invite strange men who have only met once to the dinner.
If word spreads, I'm afraid it will damage Miss Xiang's reputation.
Seeing that Gu Beichuan was hesitating, Xiaohong said hurriedly: "Before leaving, the young lady repeatedly warned you, with sincere words, that I hope everyone will come to the banquet."
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan was stunned again.
I thought that they might have something important to discuss with me, but maybe I was thinking wrongly.
Then he nodded and said solemnly: "Gu, please go back and tell Miss Xiang Yun that Beichuan will attend the banquet on time."
When Xiao Hong heard this, she became happy and left the Gu Mansion.
…
Three days later, Prince Jing’s Mansion.
When it comes to the whole of Huainan, there is no one more noble than Prince Jing.
But Prince Jing was obsessed with the military and often slept in the military camp for military training and stayed up all night.
Therefore, the most distinguished person in Prince Jing's palace became Xiang Zhirou.
On weekdays, the servants and maids in the entire mansion racked their brains and thoughts on how to serve their master well.
But today... things were somewhat beyond their control.
Because in the past, Xiang Zhirou, who had never touched Yang Chun Shui since she came to Prince Jing's Mansion, actually wanted to cook by herself!
How can this work!
In the kitchen, the old housekeeper was kneeling on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and said in a sobbing voice: "My young master, just be good and go back to the room to rest."
"Whatever do you want to eat? Tell me. Not to mention things that fly in the sky or swim in the water. Whatever we have, I will definitely help my little master find it even if I risk my life."
"It's just about cooking for yourself, why don't we forget about it?"
When Xiang Zhirou heard this, she immediately shook her head and said firmly, "No, I want to cook today's meal myself."
"But since ancient times, there has been a saying that a gentleman stays far away from the kitchen."
"Those kitchen knives are even sharper. If they hurt the little master's body, the old man will definitely die."
"What's wrong with being a gentleman? I'm just a weak woman. It's normal to cook a meal for guests."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, hitting the old housekeeper so hard that he was dumbfounded and could not recover for a long time.
"Little...little master, you cook in person, just to entertain guests?"
"Yes~"
After getting the affirmative answer, the old housekeeper felt a wave of excitement in his heart.
I thought to myself, given the status of the young master, how noble this legendary guest must be?
You know, even their Prince Jing has never seen the young master treat him so kindly!
