The two sat quietly in front of the candlelight.

Song Chuzhao suddenly realized that she had empty words after boasting, which made her have nothing to say now.

She could only turn her head and look at Gu Fengjian politely.

The dark yellow light shone on Gu Fengjian's face, making his outline softer. He sat lazily on the chair, his eyes saying carelessly.

Gu Fengjian's hands were swaying outside, and his knuckles were a little red. When Song Chuzhao saw that he had to warm his fingers from time to time, he knew that he was still afraid of the cold.

She went to smoke a thick blanket to keep Gu Fengjian warm and cover him with his legs.

Gu Fengjian pulled the blanket up and smiled at her.

So, Song Chuzhao finally had something to say. She advised earnestly: "Gu Wulang, you have to go to bed early. Every time I come, I see you staying up late. Are the books that beautiful?"

Gu Fengjian reached out and touched the book on the table: "It looks good. And there is nothing else to do. It's not as interesting as Huang Tao."

Song Chuzhao said in a daze: "Who is Huang Tao? Your new friend? But did you not see you going out to meet someone?"

Gu Fengjian looked at the name on the cover, covered the back of the book to the back, nodded calmly and said, "Yes. Make friends through literature."

Song Chuzhao smiled and said, "That's great!"

Song Chuzhao's voice was a little louder, and suddenly he heard a slight noise outside. She was startled and hurriedly hid under the table.

After waiting for a while, the sound outside stopped again.

What does it mean if she can't make a fuss about it? It won't be a good thing anyway.

When Song Chuzhao was about to leave, Gu Fengjian said again: "There is another thing that I have to ask you clearly first. If someone deliberately makes things difficult for you... to be precise, it is making things difficult for me. Should I pretend to be inferior to others, or should I give them a few words in sloppy?"

Song Chuzhao said without thinking: "Of course I'm going to scold you!"

Gu Fengjian: "Aren't you afraid of doubts?"

Song Chuzhao said: "What's the point of being suspicious? They have never seen me write poetry, so how do you know I can't do it? Even if I'm exposed in the future, I'll just treat it as you taught me. Since there are so many people who are cheating at the banquet, I'll add me one."

Gu Fengjian also felt it was OK, so he said "hmm".

Song Chuzhao sneaked to the window: "I'll leave first. I'll pick you up on the day of Wen's banquet."

?

The people in the Gu family seemed to care much about this article. Since Fan Chongqing mentioned it once that day, no one cared about it. Song Chuzhao took the time to memorize several articles in Gu Feng's collection of poems, and also memorized two long articles he randomly recorded elsewhere. His head, who did not like to read books, became much more excited after having a clear task. But she was still very nervous. After all, she was such an honest person and had never taken such a wrong path.

Two days later, Gu Silang took the invitation and threw it to her casually, beating her back with the thought that she had broken up.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Yutang specially sent a batch of thank-you gifts and expressed her gratitude for her previous statement of justice for Ji Yutang.

It is said that this is the first time Gu Wulang has received gifts from his peers. Mrs. Gu was extremely excited and took them all into the warehouse and stored them separately.

Song Chuzhao actually wanted to chat with Ji Yutang more. After all, Fan Chongqing said that the most troublesome thing at this cultural and wine banquet was Ji Yutang and the group of people he had with him. If he could reach a consensus with the other party, Song Chuzhao would not have to worry that someone would make things difficult for him at the banquet.

Unfortunately, Ji's father felt that he was too high-profile in his behavior, which caused such troubles today. After getting angry, he locked him in the house and asked him to think about his own mistakes. He was not allowed to go out before the Wenwen banquet.

Song Chuzhao ushered in the day when the Wenwen Banquet began.

?

The banquet was scheduled at night. When it was still dark, Fan Chongqing was already carrying the lamp and came to Gu's house to pick up people as promised.

Song Chuzhao thought that Fan Chongqing's so-called companions were really just simple companions. As a result, on the day he set off, he brought a group of brothers, and Gu Silang also called a group of brothers. The two teams were arranged neatly, standing at the gate of Gu's mansion, waiting for Song Chuzhao to go out together with great fighting spirit.

All of them were young children from high-ranking officials and nobles. In order to attend the banquet, they deliberately dressed a little gorgeously. The colors were darker, and the belt and hair crown were even inlaid with gold and jade. They held a few exquisitely crafted paper lanterns on their hands, and they could tell that they had extraordinary identities at a glance.

The two groups of people are both literary and military, with very different temperaments. They are both full of spirit and outstanding appearance, which is extremely eye-catching.

What a group of handsome young men!

Song Chuzhao stood silently at the door for a while, feeling the scorching gaze from the onlookers, and wishing to leave alone. However, Fan Chongqing didn't give her this opportunity at all. When she saw her appear, she came up with a smile and said, "Wuron, you finally figured it out! Are you dressing like this today?"

Song Chuzhao is now wearing a moon-white long gown she usually wears. She doesn't like to wear jade ornaments because it is inconvenient to move, so she didn't wear it this time.

It's okay to look at it normally, but when compared with these people, it seems too simple and not as rich as a breath.

She originally wanted to be low-key and be better off being the most popular, but what she didn't consider was that those who attend the banquet did not fall into the category of "common people". Instead, she was "outstanding".

Gu Silang followed from behind and said generously: "My fifth brother is just going to go through the motions. Why do you do when you dress so beautifully? Besides, even if he wears the simplest cloth clothes, it will not hinder his talent. Who dares to ignore him?"

"That's true." Fan Chongqing admired again, "Wuron is indeed indifferent to fame and fortune and does not care about these vanity!"

Song Chuzhao: "..." This is not the case.

She hurriedly left and signaled, "Let's go."

"Okay!" Fan Chongqing was very strong and was carrying an animal-shaped copper chandelier. When he swung his hand, the lamp shook quickly, and the flames jumped. He said excitedly: "Let's go pick up Song Sanniang now!"

Song Chuzhao: "…?" Gu Fengjian was afraid that she would not be misunderstood that she was a fool.

Song Chuzhao struggled and hesitated a little, but she really couldn't let Gu Fengjian go to the banquet alone, so she felt dizzy and went to the He Mansion quickly.

Gu Fengjian, who received the news of the in charge, quickly came out in his coat, and Mrs. He and Mrs. He came out together.

The three of them looked at the huge team of nearly twenty people at the door, and were shocked and could not speak for a moment.

Fortunately, the younger generations such as Fan Chongqing kept smirking politely, so the atmosphere did not become awkward.

Gu Fengjian glanced around the crowd, very confused.

He was completely unfamiliar with Fan Chongqing before, and most of the children of these high-ranking officials also had their own arrogance, especially Fan Chongqing, who was not convinced by anyone, and would not take the initiative to interact with him. Why did his circle of friends expand so widely after a while?

Didn’t Song Chuzhao say that she has been forced to read books by Duke Gu?

Gu Fengjian's gaze floated towards Fan Chongqing for a while, and was flashed by the silly smile on the other person's face.

It would be fine if Ji Yutang came, but it was just for thanking. Didn’t these two just fight? Are Fan Chongqing and the fourth brother the same power?

Gu Fengjian shook his head and raised an eyebrow to Song Chuzhao to express confusion. There was too much trivial information in Song Chuzhao's mind and he could not understand his profound meaning, so he raised his eyebrow in response.

Gu Fengjian was even more confused.

Chundong saw them winking and slim, and raised his lips to show a smile that could be broken into the world.

Mr. He touched his forehead, walked forward with a deep thought, and circled around Song Chuzhao twice.

Song Chuzhao was so angry that he was stared by his grandfather, but he still pretended to be calm and turned to face him, and smiled and said hello to him.

Mr. He pointed at Fan Chongqing and others and asked, "The person you called?"

Song Chuzhao thought about the wording: "I want to hide it from it, they are actually..." Uninvited people!

Fan Chongqing beside her took a step faster, patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, General He, so many of us take Sanniang out today, we will look forward to her if we are looking forward to it, and we will never let her be bullied!"

The brothers next to them followed and expressed their loyalty.

"Sanniang is a member of the He family, so she is also our sister. Don't worry, we will definitely take care of her."

"So many of us go together, I think no one will be blind and dare to make trouble with the third girl."

"When today's banquet ends, we will send Sanniang back safely."

Song Chuzhao's ears were buzzing by their quarrels, and she couldn't breathe. She felt that Gu Wulang's reputation in this life might not be saved.

Although Gu Fengjian's expression was calm, his eyes were as messy. He kept looking at Song Chuzhao and was getting harder and harder. Song Chuzhao was so guilty that he dared not look directly.

Before the play was over, Mr. He's face, which had been tense, suddenly burst into laughter and shouted in a suffocating voice: "Okay!"

He slapped Song Chuzhao on the shoulder, causing Song Chuzhao to tremble for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Gu Jiawuro, Zhao Zhao did not read you wrong." Mr. He smiled, "You take it with you, remember to come back soon."

Mrs. He also held back her laughter on the steps.

Mr. He said: "Sanniang returned to the capital and there were many unaccustomed places. I originally wanted to send her over to myself, but now it seems that it is not necessary. With you here, I can help me bring it up. But remember, calm down when encountering things, tonight's Wenwen Banquet is definitely not a place to cause trouble. If you are unhappy, send Sanniang back first."

Song Chuzhao bowed and replied, "Yes, Mr. He."

Mr. He turned around and waved to Gu Fengjian: "You young men, go quickly."

Gu Fengjian walked slowly, Fan Chongqing and others consciously made way out and asked them to walk in the middle and surrounded them in the back with laughter.

Song Chuzhao felt even more embarrassed.

Seeing that her muscles were stiff and she was at a loss, Gu Fengjian lowered her head and saw the paper lantern in her hand, and asked, "Didn't I?"

The light cup in Song Chuzhao's hand was convenient for anyone to carry, so he hurriedly handed it over and said, "Do you like it? I'll give it to you."

Gu Fengjian took it with him.

Seeing this, Fan Chongqing and others started making noises behind them and made strange sounds. Song Chuzhao turned around and glared fiercely, and the monkey children quickly closed their voices and whispered to each other.

The crowd gradually moved towards the garden.

Gu Fengjian always looked calm and seemed not affected by the group of people behind him. He seemed to be very interested in the lamp in his hand, and hung it between the two of them, and looked at it from time to time.

Song Chuzhao leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you angry?"

"Hmm?" Gu Fengjian, "Why do you always think I'm angry?"

Song Chuzhao thought, there are many places where she can get angry? For example, serious people should think that she is simply "making trouble".

Gu Fengjian continued: "It's like I always feel like I'm bullied."

Song Chuzhao: "Isn't it?"
