Chapter 803, Slander
Guo Ruomei did not withstand Mei Shuang's persuasion and asked Mei Lan Mei Ju to bring back an invitation to Xiao Yeyang and Dao Hua.
"Mother wants me and Xianggong to attend the family banquet in Dingguo's mansion?" Daohua took the invitation somewhat unexpectedly, and then thought about it and found it unreasonable.
Dingguo Gongfu is also Xiao Yeyang's ancestral home. As a bride, she should recognize people in the past. Besides, she hasn't served tea to Xiao Yeyang's mother yet.
"I know this, you go down!"
After letting Meilan and Meiju back down, Daohua pondered, and when Xiao Yeyang came back from outside, he handed him the invitation.
Xiao Yeyang fell silent after reading the invitation.
Daohua: "Should we go?"
Xiao Yeyang asked back: "Do you want to go?"
Daohua knew that Xiao Yeyang had feelings for his uncle's house, and said with a smile: "I should go, one, I haven't served tea to my mother; two, isn't Governor Guo returning to Beijing, as your daughter-in-law, I too It's time to visit my grandfather and uncle."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang smiled: "Then go."
Daohua smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll go and talk to my father tomorrow morning."
Xiao Yeyang blurted out and wanted to say no, but moved his lips, and finally swallowed the words and said, "If we are going to my grandfather's house, then we can only stay at the Four Seasons Villa for two days."
Daohua: "Tell Master the reason, and Master will understand. Well, it's a big deal. After I return to my mother's house on the second day of the new year, let's go to live with Master for a while, and then we will fool the father and the king."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "I listen to you."
The next day, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang both got up early because they were going to the Four Seasons Villa and had to give the Yan family a New Year's gift.
Before going out, Daohua went to Prince Ping with the invitation from the Guo family.
Prince Ping had already eaten breakfast and was playing with the birds. When he saw Daohua coming over, he quickly waved her over: "Yan girl, come and see how this pair of parrots this king has acquired?"
Daohua walked over with a smile: "The things that Father and King like are naturally very good, but Yiyi doesn't understand birds, so you are asking the wrong person."
Prince Ping said with a smile: "I know that you don't understand as soon as I guess, what's the matter with you coming to me?"
Daohua smiled and handed over the invitation.
Prince Ping smiled in surprise and said, "The invitation for this king? Which one is it? The king has been unable to attend the banquet these days." After speaking, he opened the invitation and read it.
Daohua saw Prince Ping's face sinking little by little, lowered his head and said: "Father, please help your daughter-in-law to pay attention, if you let us go, we will go, if you don't let us, I and I Xiao Yeyang will spend two more days with Master at the Four Seasons Villa."
Prince Ping snorted and squinted at Daohua, knowing that this girl was playing with him, but thinking that she knew that she would come over to ask for her own opinion in advance, it could be considered to be all his face, and he was much more sensible than the son-in-law.
"Whether I love you or not, I don't have time to take care of such trivial matters as you." After speaking, he threw the invitation directly back to Daohua.
Daohua looked up at Prince Ping: "Father, I haven't served tea to my mother-in-law yet, so Xiao Yeyang and I should make this post?"
Prince Ping waved his hand impatiently: "Where do you like to go?" After a while, he was also a little tired of attending various banquets, and after thinking about it, he said, "This prince has not let the old man acupuncture for some days. Well, in this way, this king will go to the Four Seasons Villa with you later."
Daohua couldn't ask for it, and nodded again and again: "That's great, if the father can go to see the master, the master will be very happy."
Prince Ping pouted: "I don't think this king thinks that your master has never given this king a good face. If it weren't for his good medical skills, and for your sake, this king would have been there long ago."
Daohua: "What early?"
Prince Ping hummed, turned his head and left with the bird cage.
He won't speak ill of the old man in front of Yan girl. He can guarantee that if he wants to say something bad, this girl will definitely report to the old man.
Thinking of the old man who didn't take him seriously as a prince at all, let alone, he was really a little scared.
Watching Prince Ping go away, Daohua smiled and returned to Pingxi Hall.
"Father King agreed that we should go to Dingguo Gongfu. By the way, he will also go to Four Seasons Villa later."
Xiao Yeyang took the cloak and tied it to Daohua, handed her the hand stove to hold it, and then took her hand out of the room.
I thought I would have to wait for Prince Ping for a while, but who knew that in front of the gate of the palace, Prince Ping was already waiting in a carriage.
Daohua walked to the carriage and said, "Father, I haven't given the New Year's gift to my parents' family. We may have to take a detour later."
Prince Ping didn't care much and said, "Just go around."
Daohua smiled and blessed her body: "Thank you, Father." After speaking, she turned and walked towards the carriage behind.
Xiao Yeyang stood outside the carriage waiting for Daohua, and after helping her up, he sat up.
After half an hour, the Yan residence arrived.
Because of Prince Ping's presence, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang did not enter the mansion. After the people brought the New Year gifts in, they went to the Four Seasons Villa in a carriage.
Four Seasons Villa.
Yesterday Daohua sent someone over to deliver the letter. Gu Jian knew that the two children were coming over today, so he got up early and went to the kitchen to prepare a table of meals in person.
As soon as the meal was ready, Dong Li came in with a smile and reported, "Master, the county master and the little prince are here, and the prince is also here."
A smile instantly appeared in Gu Jian's eyes, he left the kitchen and returned to his yard.
After changing his clothes, Gu Jian didn't wait long to see Prince Ping walking into the yard with Xiao Yeyang and Daohua.
Gu Jian sat on the main seat, waiting for the three to come in.
As soon as Prince Ping entered the room, he smiled and said, "Old Master, we are here to see you."
Gu Jian nodded calmly and turned his attention to the two children behind him.
Because they were still newly married and the New Year was approaching, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua were both dressed more festively, both wearing big red shirts.
Looking at the two talented and beautiful children, Gu Jian showed a satisfied and relieved smile on his face.
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang knelt forward and bowed three times to Gu Jian.
After the salute, Daohua said playfully, "Master, your apprentice and son-in-law led your apprentice and son-in-law back to see you."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her and said with a smile, "Uncle, my nephew and grandson brought your nephew and grandson-in-law back to see you."
Prince Ping still thought it was normal for Daohua's words, but when he arrived at Xiao Yeyang, he quickly interrupted: "What are you screaming about, you should follow Yan girl to call master, what nephews and grandsons are not nephews, don't make a fool of yourself if you don't understand. Call."
Xiao Yeyang realized that he was about to miss something, and did not dare to argue.
Gu Jian glanced at Prince Ping and said nothing. He smiled and gave Daohua and Xiao Yeyang a hand-carved ebony Maitreya Buddha pendant: "Take it and wear it on your body to ward off evil spirits."
"Thank you Master!"
"Thank you old man!"
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang happily took the ebony pendant.
Prince Ping craned his neck and looked at it: "Old man, where did you find this fine ebony?"
Gu Jian glanced at him: "Old man, there is another bad carving here. If the prince doesn't dislike it, I will give it to you." After speaking, he threw the last ebony Maitreya Buddha to Prince Ping.
Prince Ping hurriedly reached out his hand to catch it. He just wanted to say that he didn't want the broken carving, but looking at the lifelike ebony Maitreya Buddha in his hand, he quickly put it into his sleeve pocket.
Don't say, this kind of good ebony is really hard to find, he has never seen a prince, so don't want it for nothing.
"Go, eat."
The four came to the dining room and learned that Gu Jian personally cooked all the dishes at a table. Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were moved.
Prince Ping clicked his tongue twice: "Old man, you really dote on Yan girl enough."
Gu Jian took over the words: "Yiyi is the only apprentice of this old man, who would dare to treat him badly." His sharp eyes swept across Prince Ping and Xiao Yeyang, and both father and son shivered in unison.
Daohua narrowed her eyes with a smile, stared at Gu Jian with a look of admiration.
The four of them were just about to eat with chopsticks when Dongli came to report, and Lord Yong came over with his eldest grandson, Xiao Yexuan.
"What's the matter with Uncle Yong, the number of times you come to the Four Seasons Villa is too frequent?" Prince Ping couldn't help but say, every time he came over, he seemed to meet this uncle.
As soon as the words fell, the laughter of Yong Lao Wangye came in: "Xiao Jiu, you are arranging bad things about this king behind your back."
Seeing Prince Yong entering the house, Prince Ping, Xiao Yeyang, and Daohua all hurriedly stood up to salute, and even Gu Jian also stood up.
Lord Yong walked towards Gu Jian: "Brother, sit down, I thought there was no one here today, so I just wanted to bring my grandson over to eat with you."
When Prince Ping heard it, he murmured, "Uncle Wang, just eat the rice when you come here. Why do you keep sticking gold on your face?"
Lord Yong laughed and scolded: "Why, if you can come, this king can't come?"
Prince Ping straightened his back and said proudly, "We are different. Father Gu and I are now in-laws."
As soon as these words came out, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang both coughed.
The corner of Gu Jian's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Prince Ping without words.
Lord Yong wanted to laugh a little, but he finally held back.
Xiao Yexuan watched everyone's reaction, doubts flashed across his eyes, it was not right for his grandfather to befriend the master of Shengping County Master.
After that, Prince Yong took Xiao Yexuan to the lower left hand of Gu Jian, Prince Ping sat to the lower right hand, and Daohua and Xiao Yeyang could only sit opposite each other.
