Chapter 317 Hiding

Gu Yanfei looked at these familiar faces, and felt nostalgic and kind, and a pair of sweet smiles formed on the corners of his lips.

"I'll give everyone a toast!" She generously toasted all of Gu Yuan's friends.

Only she knows that this cup of wine is for the friendship of the previous life.

"My sister is really good at drinking!" Fan Beiran gave Gu Yanfei a thumbs up gesture.

"That's right! You don't even look at who sister Yan Fei is!" Another young man in blue patted Gu Yuan's shoulder vigorously, and praised both siblings in one sentence.

He salivated his face and smiled so flatteringly, "Sister Yan Fei, can you do me a favor? My daughter-in-law is about to give birth to her first child, so I'll write Zhang Shun's birth talisman."

"Fei Liu!" Gu Yuan slapped the blue-clothed boy's arm with a slap, "You want to be a father, so unreliable. My sister isn't married yet!"

When Gu Yuan said this, he deliberately put a little bit of coldness in the corners of his brows and eyes, feeling that Fei Liu was indebted to be beaten.

"A Yuan, beat him up, you're welcome!" Lu seemed to instigate from the side.

Young Master Fei turned a blind eye, turned a deaf ear, and winked at Gu Yanfei in a pleasing manner, "Sister Yanfei, for the sake of my virtuous husband and loving father, please help me."

"You don't know, I've seen your sister-in-law's stomach getting bigger and bigger these days. I really can't eat, and I can't sleep!"

At the end, he deliberately glanced at Lu Si, Fan Beiran, and the others, and added, "These...you people who have never been fathers will not know!"

Young Master Fei was besieged by Fan Beiran and Lu as he wished.

Looking at the joking people, Gu Yanfei couldn't help laughing, "No need for a talisman."

Said, she took out a copper coin-sized emerald safety button from her sleeve, strung it with a red string, and tied it with a pipa knot.

"Take it." Gu Yanfei put the safety button on Fei Liu Gongzi's palm and urged, "After the baby is born, just hang this safety button on the swaddle. Three days after he is born, there will be a small one. Catastrophe, but there are no surprises, and after this life will be smooth."

"Sister Yan Fei, I accept your blessings." Young Master Fei's eyes lit up, and he eagerly took the safety button. He first put it in his sleeve pocket, but felt uneasy, and quickly turned to the safety button. into the arms.

After carefully putting away the safety buckle, Young Master Fei recalled what Gu Yanfei had just said, and said anxiously, "Three days after birth? Isn't that the day of the third wash?"

"Sister Yan Fei, why don't you ask your elder brother to bring you to my house on the third day of washing and show you to your little nephew? ... Ouch!"

Young Master Fei stared at Gu Yanfei eagerly, and ended with a cry of pain.

Lu seemed rude to throw a chestnut at the back of Fei Liu Gongzi's head, and said angrily: "How do you know it's a little nephew, not a little niece!"

"That's right!" Fei Liugong's expression was straight, and he recognized his mistake very quickly, "Sister Yan Fei, my daughter-in-law is beautiful, with a melon-seeded face and a cherry mouth. My daughter must be a beauty, and you will definitely like this little niece."

Young Master Fei said it eloquently, quite a bit like the mother-in-law selling melons and boasting.

"Okay, I will definitely go on the third day of washing." Gu Yanfei readily responded, his laughter was as crisp as a bell, so happy that the sixth son of Fei hurriedly toasted her with a glass of wine.

Fan Beiran, Lu Si and the others were dazzled by what Fei Liugongzi just said, and exchanged glances with each other.

Fan Beiran picked up the jug and filled Fei Liu Gongzi's glass with wine, and said with a smile: "Fei Liu, among the few of us, you are the only one who got married, and you are about to become a father, so just focus on these two. Come on, you must punish yourself three times today."

"Why do you punish me for three cups?" Fei Liugong refused to obey, raised his finger and pointed at them, "I'm 19 years old and older than you guys. I'm getting married first, isn't that a matter of course?"

Lu said sourly: "Oh, who told you to have a beautiful daughter soon!"

The other sons were laughing and leaning back and forth, booing frequently, almost completely suppressing the melodious sound of the pipa.

Young Master Fei held it back for a while, and finally couldn't help but laugh, patted the table and said, "I mean, for my daughter, I have to drink too."

Everyone laughed and joked, eating and drinking, in fact, it was just looking for a name to play with.

After Gu Yanfei left, these young masters drank even more fiercely. Fan Beiran was fined three cups for being the last to come today; Lu Si was also fined three cups for missing a pot throw.

After a while, several people's faces were stained with a little alcoholism, their cheeks were slightly red, their eyes were bright, and they were a little drunk.

The wine is in full swing, and the sound of the pipa is gradually increasing, like a waterfall falling rapidly, and like ten thousand horses galloping...

"Wow! Wow..."

I don't know which direction it came from, suddenly there was a thoughtless cry, which came into the water pavilion through the open window. The melodious sound of the pipa was not very clear. , it stopped abruptly.

"Huh?" Lu Si's ears moved, and he looked at each other with Fan Beiran, Fei Liugongzi and others.

This seems to be the cry of a baby?

Fan Beiran looked at Gu Yuan, squinted at him, stared at him, stared at him...

After a while, he enthusiastically proposed: "A Yuan, I heard Jiao Niang say that your sister has a cat, which is very beautiful. How about I bring my lion cat to breed with it?"

"The kittens they give birth must be like gods!"

"Go away!" Gu Yuan spat out a word and kicked Fan Beiran casually, "My family is still young!"

It's just that he wasn't kicking Fan Beiran's man, but the chair under Fan Beiran's ass.

The rosewood chair made a "crack" sound, and was kicked by Gu Yuan and jumped up and down. Fan Beiran was afraid that he would fall, so he jumped up quickly, and said with a smile, "I'm going to throw the pot!"

This scene made everyone present laugh out loud.

The sound of "dong dong" throwing the pot came one after another.

The baby-like sound didn't sound anymore, and these sons and buddies just took it as a cat meowing or the wind, and no one cared.

After playing a few rounds of pot throwing, Lu Shi was the first to admit defeat: "If I don't play, I won't play anymore, I'm the only one who is fined for drinking!"

"We'll play...play..." Lu seemed to rack his brains for a while, "Play with the hammer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wutong trotting into the water pavilion, and walked quickly to Gu Yuan's side, saying: "Eldest young master, Yue Wuzi is here..."

"Didn't Yue Jun say that he can't come today?" Fan Beiran interrupted Wutong, "Haha, then today is his last arrival, Yue Jun, and he has to punish himself three... No, six cups!"

Lu seemed to be waiting for the others, lest the world would not be in chaos.

Wutong had a strange look on his face, and quickly added: "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master is also here, saying that he happened to meet Fifth Young Master Yue outside, so I came here to congratulate you."

The second young master Wutong said was of course Gu Jian's direct son, Gu Xiao.

If Yue Jun wasn't there today, Wutong would have stopped Gu Xiao, the uninvited guest, long ago.

The originally lively atmosphere in the water pavilion suddenly froze, only the rapid sound of the pipa continued.

All these young masters here know that the relationship between Gu Yuan and his second uncle is very tense, and the separation of the family even alarmed the emperor. Gu Xiao also knew that it was difficult to enter the door, so he grabbed Yue Jun and slammed into the door.

Gu Yuan said lightly: "If he wants to come, let him come."

Wutong heaved a sigh of relief, and then stepped back to welcome the guests.

Lu seemed to clear his throat, and said with a smile: "A Yuan, come on, I haven't seen your second brother for a long time, is that little kid still crying?"

"I'm not crying anymore, but I'm still a little cowardly," Fan Beiran interrupted while drinking, "I saw him a few days ago, and everyone slapped him in the face, but he actually held back his breath. ."

"It's better to cry and scream than to endure it!" I don't know who commented.

Gu Yuan declined to comment, and everyone continued to fight and drink, laughing and laughing.

After a while, Yue Jun and Gu Xiao strode towards this side under the guidance of Wutong.

Yue Jun is wearing a black five-bat holding a longevity flower straight robe, tall and straight, with a clear expression and wide eyes.

In comparison, 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 straight blue cloud pattern. At first glance, he was also a handsome young man.

"I'm late." Yue Jun said loudly, quite consciously, and started to drink alcohol without saying a word.

Gu Xiao, who was two steps behind, also walked up to Gu Yuan and bowed his hands properly: "Big brother."

"I heard that the eldest brother is going to be transferred to Jinwuwei soon, and the younger brother came here to congratulate him." Gu Xiao said, and sent a congratulatory gift.

The family split for nearly a month, Gu Xiao looked a little more stable, etiquette, words and deeds made it impossible to find faults, but there was still a sense of discordant awkwardness in his expression.

"I have a heart." Gu Yuan's voice was very indifferent, he didn't even look at the congratulatory gift from Gu Xiao, and gave it directly to Wutong.

Afraid that Gu Yuan's next sentence would be an order to evict guests, Gu Xiao quickly sat down beside him, and at the same time saluted Fan Beiran and the others, treating everyone politely.

"Second Brother Fan, I saw you at Tianyin Pavilion the day before yesterday. It's a pity that you walked too fast and I didn't have time to stop you." Gu Xiao talked to Fan Beiran with a smile on his face.

"Really?" Fan Beiran raised his eyebrows, feeling extremely rare in his heart: Gu Xiao has always been a bit clean in the past, and he feels that he is the future prince of Dingyuan, so he needs to be held and respected by others, and he never disdains to surrender. Respect is precious.

Gu Xiao smiled and said, "If Second Brother Fan likes to watch a play, next time we can go to Tianyin Pavilion together. I will invite Second Brother Fan to watch a play together..."

He said it enthusiastically, but Fan Beiran, who had known him for more than ten years, had an inexplicable feeling of hair standing on end. He couldn't help thinking: Did Gu Xiao take the wrong medicine, or did his father get hit too hard by Seojue? ?

Fan Beiran was a little flashy when he was not careful. The words behind Gu Xiao went into his left ear and came out of his right ear. It wasn't until Gu Xiao repeatedly called him "Second Brother Fan" that he came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows.

Gu Xiao's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly squeezed out a smile, pointed out the window and said, "I seem to hear a baby crying, can you hear it?"

Baby?

Everyone kept their voices down again, this time, Wutong signaled the musician to stop the pipa.

When the inside and outside of the water pavilion became quiet, everyone listened carefully. There seemed to be some crying in the wind, intermittently.

Fan Beiran, Lu Si and others looked at each other.

"I see!" Gu Xiao smiled, "Could it be that eldest brother has a son?"

"Why didn't Big Brother tell me about such a happy event earlier?"

In a family like them, if the man is not married, there are concubines. This is not something to brag about, but a scandal. Once it spreads, people with big rules will not marry their daughters to such unruly people. A decent family.

Gu Xiao took a slow sip of the drink, the corners of his lips raised, waiting for his big brother to change his face, waiting for Gu Yuan's face to show an embarrassing look.

He never liked this big brother. When the eldest uncle was alive, Gu Yuan was a man of heaven, making him impossible to achieve. Everyone asked him to learn from the big brother.

Later, his father inherited the title, and he became the future prince of Dingyuan Hou. Only associate with Gu Yuan, the son of a criminal minister, and never take him seriously!

He didn't understand what was so good about Gu Yuan. Since he was a criminal, he should stay safe and hide, but Gu Yuan always stole his limelight.

And now, the Houfu has lost his title because of Gu Yuan, and he can no longer be the prince!

Thinking of this, Gu Xiao's eyes became gloomy little by little, his face seemed to be smiling, but his right hand holding the wine glass was tight.

He has endured Gu Yuan for a long time.

Meeting Gu Xiao's provocative gaze, Gu Yuan smiled, his laughter was as clear as a pine breeze, his slender fingers casually played with the small white porcelain wine glass, and called him by his first name: "Gu Xiao, you won't go out before you go out today. Did you forget to take your medicine?"

"..." Gu Xiao was startled.

Before he could react, Fan Beiran, Lu Si and the others were already laughing out loud, and Lu Si laughed until tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

Gu Xiao took a beat before he realized that Gu Yuan was saying that he was sick.

The boy's face flushed slightly.

Lu seemed to want to add fuel to the fire, jokingly said: "Gu Xiao, since he is sick, this medicine cannot be stopped."

"Yes, yes." Fei Liugong nodded again and again, "Otherwise, all previous efforts will be forfeited, and if it doesn't work, you will be even more ill."

They said something serious, as if Gu Xiao was really sick, and they were just giving advice with good intentions.

Fan Beiran sighed and said, "Gu Xiao, you are only fourteen, aren't you forty? Your memory is so poor that you can't even remember what happened last year. It's time to take some medicine."

Gu Xiao: "…"

Lu said enviously, "A Yuan was in the southwest for most of last year, and the emperor was far away, so he was very comfortable. How could he look like me!"

They all know that Gu Yuan went to the southwest with the army in the first half of last year, and he was not in the capital at all. The military regulations were strict, how could he have time to give birth to a son!

Fan Beiran also envied Gu Yuan, "I heard that the beauties in the southwest are particularly affectionate and exotic, which is different from the beauties in the capital..."

"I also went to the Southwest once three years ago..." Fei Liu Gongzi said with a bit of nostalgia, and then burst into laughter, teasing, "This damned place in the Southwest, you can still make a living after a month, half a year is just like It's **** on earth!"

"A Yuan, it's really hard for you!" Another young master also had a heart, and patted Gu Yuan's shoulder sympathetically.

Everyone laughed and laughed.

The corners of Gu Xiao's eyes twitched, and he almost broke the wine glass in his hand.

After being silent for a while, he took two deep breaths and tried his best to bring the topic back: "I was just joking, but Brother Fan, Brother Fei, Fourth Brother Lu, you really didn't hear the baby's cry. sound?"

"I heard this cry and it seemed like it was nearby..."

He put down the wine glass in his hand and proposed to Gu Yuan seriously: "Brother, in my opinion, it is better to check this matter, lest Xiao Xiao sneak into the mansion, the eldest sister and the second sister are still in the mansion, they are still in the house. Not married yet..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but none of the young masters present were fools, and they could understand Gu Xiao's unfinished words.

This kid is not "sick", but "crazy".

He had nothing to do with Gu Yuan, so he poured dirty water on the cousins ​​because he hadn't been beaten for too long? !

Fan Beiran and the others looked at Gu Xiao without words.

"Enough!" Gu Yuan's face instantly stiffened, as if covered with a layer of frost, he scolded Gu Xiao coldly, "Gu Xiao, you can't speak, so you don't have to!"

When    was speaking, a cold and sharp killing aura pressed towards Gu Xiao overwhelmingly, and Gu Xiao shivered involuntarily.

Gu Yuan instructed Wutong: "Send him out."

"..." Gu Xiao's face turned black, his face was as heavy as water, he never expected that Gu Yuan would be so ruthless, embarrassing himself in front of these noble princes in the capital.

"Who dares!" Gu Xiao was so angry that the veins on his forehead burst, slapped his palm on the wine table, and shouted almost hysterically.

He proudly held his chest out, I don't believe anyone dares to drive him away!

Gu Xiao completely forgot that today is different from the past, this is not the "Dingyuan Hou's Mansion" a month ago.

In the past, although Gu Xiao was not established as the heir, he was the only son of the Marquis and Gu Jian. Everyone in the house felt that it was a matter of time, and everyone in the house respected him, far better than Gu Yuan.

And now, this mansion is still surnamed Gu, but it is not the world of the second room.

This mansion has returned to the hands of the long house, and now the owner of this mansion is Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan gave an order, and several guards from Gu Mansion immediately heard the sound, stared at Gu Xiao condescendingly, and stretched out their hands to plead.

"Second Young Master, please." The head guard said politely, reminding Gu Xiao in words that he was no longer the second young master of the mansion, and the mansion had already been separated.

"..." Gu Xiao almost didn't say anything presumptuous, but finally bit these two words on the tip of his tongue.

Gu Xiao's face became even worse, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he stared at Gu Yuan unhappily.

The captain of the guard urged again: "Please."

"Ha!" Gu Xiao smiled, his thin lips crooked.

There is undisguised malice in this smile.

"Let's go!" Gu Xiao got up, flicked his sleeves and walked away, giving Gu Yuan a gloomy look, and strutting away.

Until Gu Xiao walked out of the small garden, he could still hear one after another talking and laughing from the direction of the water pavilion at the back.

Obviously, they were not affected at all by Gu Xiao's coming or going. They should eat, drink, play, and scoff...

Gu Xiao gritted his teeth fiercely, but stopped for a while, and continued to walk forward, escorted by a few Gu Mansion guards, and went out from the west corner of the mansion.

"Boom!"

The corner door slammed shut, causing Gu Xiao's heart to tremble slightly.

This place was obviously his home, but it was taken away by his elder brother Gu Yuan, and he was driven out. was turned away.

The muscles on Gu Xiao's face were tense, and there was a hint of grievance in his resentful expression, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes were fierce.

He got into his own carriage and instructed the driver, "Go to Beizhen Fusi."

The driver was taken aback for a moment, his expression changed slightly, but he still agreed.

The horse whip snapped out, and the carriage galloped away, going all the way to one of the most feared places in the capital.

The plaque of "Northern Town Fusi" hangs high on the gate. Just looking at it like this makes one feel a chill to the bones. This place is like a gate of hell. hell.

As soon as the two guards in Jinyi who were guarding the gate saw Gu Xiao, they stopped him with a knife.

"Beijing Fusi important area, not everyone can trespass!" One of the guards with a square face looked down at Gu Xiao from the top of the steps, his face was expressionless, his eyes were cold, as if he would throw the knife away from him if he disagreed. The scabbard was pulled out, causing Gu Xiao blood to splatter on the spot.

Gu Xiao took a deep breath, raised his chest, gathered his courage, and said loudly, "I'm here to report!"

"Gu Yuan, the son of Gu Ce, the Marquis of Xian Dingyuan, hid the imperial prisoners!"

His voice was so loud that I wished everyone inside and on the street could hear it.

Jin Yiwei naturally knew who Gu Yuan was, and also knew that Gu Yuan had just been ordered by the first prince to be transferred from Luanyiwei to Jinwuwei, and he would take office early tomorrow morning.

Obviously, the eldest prince wants to entrust Gu Yuan with a heavy responsibility.

The square-faced Jin Yiwei's eyes flashed, but he still had a straight face, and asked indifferently, "Who is hiding?"

"The remnants of the Yu family."

Gu Xiao said these four words loud and clear.
