Chapter 2208 Adopting an Eldest Son
"Oh, it looks like Master Gu is drunk!" Some people around did not believe what Gu Xin said, and they were very excited because they bet on Fatty Wang to win.
Bai Yi smiled and glanced at him, haha, our third princess never lies.
"Bah! Princess sister, why are you not the emperor or your uncle!" Fatty Wang rolled his eyes at Gu Xin. This pretty boy just said that his aunt and uncle were her uncle and aunt, and he didn't even know him. When did his aunt and uncle have a nephew named Gu?
"Fat Wang, you are so smart! Come on, drink this bowl, there are still many bowls!" Gu Xin took the bowl again.
Fatty Wang drank it directly with him.
Some people watching the excitement nearby thought that maybe what Gu Xin said was true. If there is a general brother-in-law and a princess sister, then Master Gu's family is also very powerful, why not ask?
So someone asked: "Mr. Gu, the elder sister is married, and the brother-in-law is from another family. You see Mr. Wang, he always talks about his father. What does your father do?"
Gu Xin smiled and glanced at the man, and his eyes suddenly became distracted: "My father is so powerful! Who do you think is the most powerful person with the surname Gu in the whole Zhou Dynasty?"
"Tsk!" Wang Pang tsk said, "Everyone knows the reputation of Mr. Gu, the Minister of Rites. After he won the first place in the imperial examination a few years ago, he went to Kunzhou to take office for six years. When he was old, he returned to Beijing to take office in the Ministry of Rites. He was also worried about the headmaster of the Royal Academy, and he made all the princesses, princes, and all kinds of dandies behave themselves. Are you going to say that Mr. Gu is your father? You must be drunk!"
"Oh! You are so concerned about my father! You admire my father? I will take you to see my father next time I go to Beijing!" Gu Xin raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Haha, pretty boy, admit defeat! If Lord Gu is your father, then I will just acknowledge you as my father. You are shameless, just flattering yourself. Next time you go to Tongzhou, will you say that Lord Wang, the prefect of Tongzhou, is your father? Lord Wang, the only son of the prefect, is your brother? Haha..." Fatty Wang obviously didn't believe it.
"Fat Wang, you actually have a hobby of acknowledging someone as your father! Okay, although I am not married, it is still okay to have a son this big. At least he can serve me tea and water, right! Come on, in order to be an unmarried father, I will drink you down no matter what I say today!" Gu Xin picked up the bowl and was very happy. She did what her sister said about painless childbirth, and she didn't have to spend money to raise the child even though he was so old. Although he looked a little shabby, she could teach him well!
Lord Liu and his wife Liu don't look like bad people. Lord Wang, the prefect of Tongzhou, is said to be very loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Then help Lord Wang teach his son, and it would be good to have a fat man to help him!
Gu Xin didn't see it, but Meng Meng, who was sitting next to her, rolled her eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Maybe those who didn't know Gu Xin didn't believe what Gu Xin said, but Meng Meng felt that it was somewhat reliable.
This girl in men's clothing was obviously from a good family. There were calluses on the palms of her hands, but the backs of her hands were very delicate. She was obviously a person who had been pampered but had been holding weapons for many years.
She said that Lord Gu was her father, which might be true.
Didn't Princess Xinxin come to Donglin Palace to investigate a case recently? She didn't know whether she had left or not, but she heard that Princess Xinxin went to a funeral yesterday. Maybe she didn't leave?
Meng Meng's mind kept turning. She wanted to seize the opportunity. She didn't ask Princess Xinxin to help her. She just hoped that if her sister was not there, she could ask Princess Xinxin to introduce an acquaintance to her if she wanted to go to Kunzhou.
