Fanwai Uninvited Guest (Second Uncle Fanwai)
In the mansion of Huaiyuan, Gu Chongyi shook his lounge chair and basked in the sun.
Finally, the spring flowers bloomed. February was not too warm, but the weather was particularly good today. The warm spring breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers blew on him, and Gu Chongyi breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
Of course, it would be even better if the lady and Zhuzhu were next to each other.
In a blink of an eye, Zhuzhu has been married for almost a year, and the house bought by his son-in-law has also become the "Waiwang Mansion". Although the King of Wei has not been established as the crown prince, the officials from the Zhanshi Mansion have come to the door to look for the King of Wei to discuss matters every day, and the decree of establishing the crown prince will obviously be issued soon.
This is a happy event, and Gu Chongyi was still a little sad. He didn't know whether he would treat the Wei Palace as the prince's mansion or choose another residence. If he moved far away, he would not be able to see his beads from time to time. It would be a trivial matter if he couldn't see it now. When his son-in-law ascended the throne and was blocked by the palace gate, it would be even more difficult.
The lady has occasionally frowned and thought about it recently, and I think she is also worried about this step.
Fortunately, my father-in-law returned to Shaanxi. He asked the kitchen to prepare a table of food, and to have a few drinks with his wife tonight, to cheer up and talk about the relationship between husband and wife with his wife.
Tonight, he specially bought two pots of "persimmons". This was transported from Xifan to Dazhou after the resumption of sea transportation. The fruits were red and beautiful, and the wife would definitely like them when she saw them.
"Have your wife been back?" Gu Chongyi asked Xiang Guan.
The lady has to sit in Zhuzhu every day, and it should be almost the same time.
"I'm back," said the manager, "Mrs. is taking the old man to play in the garden."
Gu Chongyi stood up and said, "Go and tell my wife that we will go to the study tonight for dinner." He also had to change his new robe. Every time his son-in-law came to pick up Zhuzhu, he always dressed brightly. Maybe... it is really useful to change clothes?
He asked someone to warm up the wine in the study and smoked the fragrance in advance. The "persimmon" was naturally placed there. The lady would definitely be surprised when she came in.
The manager responded and hurriedly reported. Gu Chongyi entered the door and changed his clothes and walked towards the study. As soon as he walked into the corridor, he saw the manager of the doorman coming to report.
"Mr. Marquis, Master Wei is here."
Gu Chongyi was stunned. Didn’t this thing just come back from the southwest? After winning the war in the southwest, the court and the Wei family should have a banquet. What did he come over to do?
"No, no, no, no..." Gu Chongyi waved, "Just say I was sick, and I had a headache and didn't see the guests." Every time I found this thing, there was no good thing. The banquet he carefully prepared for his wife must not be disturbed by Wei Laoer.
Before the manager could turn around, Gu Chongyi saw a figure rushing towards him in panic. It was Wei Congzhi.
Gu Chongyi's face turned dark and it was too late.
...
"Why did the Marquis go to the study to have meals?" Mrs. Lin was very surprised. Why didn't she come to the main house? What was the Marquis doing sneakily?
Mrs. Lin looked at Brother Chun who was running happily and didn't want to go, but... Since the Marquis said that, she couldn't give her face at all.
Mother Chen whispered: "The Marquis's yamen has been busy recently, and he may feel that he hasn't had a good meal with his wife for a long time..." This was what the Marquis asked her to say, and she could only mention it here.
Mrs. Lin nodded and went to see what the Marquis was doing?
Mrs. Lin ordered her wet nurse to take care of Brother Chun. Just as she was about to leave, the manager of the outer courtyard came in.
"Madam, Mr. Wei Er is here to visit."
When Mr. Wei Er came, Mrs. Lin was stunned. The Marquis hadn't said it in advance! She had known Mr. Wei Er would come, she would have prepared in advance.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin seemed to understand. No wonder the Marquis wanted to send the food to the study. She must have wanted to hold a banquet to entertain Master Wei Er, but she was embarrassed to tell her.
It's true, it's an old couple who are still doing this. She complained that the Marquis has had too many things in the yamen recently and never returns to the house to have dinner. But just a few words, he will really get angry? When has she been so unreasonable?
Mr. Wei has just returned to Beijing and has not even returned to the Wei family. When he comes here to meet with the master, he must be well welcomed by this thought.
Mrs. Lin said, "Please invite Mr. Wei Er to the study!" The master always said that Mr. Wei Er was not good, but he always cared about Mr. Wei Er in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have prepared the banquet in advance. Until now, he was afraid that Mr. Wei Er would not come, so he used her to cover it up.
What a child. Before, she took care of Zhuzhu wholeheartedly and did not put too much energy on the Marquis. Now that Zhuzhu is married, she found that the youngest person in the family is not Chun Ge'er but Marquis.
After Mrs. Lin said that, she turned to the kitchen and asked the cook to make some sobering soup so that the two of them would not drink too much again.
"The Marquis ordered the sobering soup in advance, and asked someone to send it to the study with warm wine."
Hearing the cook's words, Mrs. Lin showed a "very sure" expression on her face.
"Then let's follow the arrangements of the marquis' orders." She was happy to not care about anything and continued to go to the garden to accompany Brother Chun.
...
The manager politely invited Wei Congzhi to the study room.
When I opened the door, I smelled a faint fragrance of flowers. What caught my eye was pots of red fruits, with warm wine on the table and stewed on the small clay stove.
Wei Congzhi's tears rolled in his eyes, and he turned to pounce on Gu Chongyi: "This is all for me! Brother, you treat me so well."
Gu Chongyi dodged away, his face as dark as the bottom of the pot: "No."
Wei Congzhi smiled and said, "Don't lie to me. My sister-in-law had someone tell me just now, and my elder brother has been thinking about me."
Gu Chongyi's chest stagnated, and anger erupted from Gu Hou's eyes, trying his best to control himself so that he did not beat Wei Congzhi into meat paste.
His banquet, his "persimmons" everything he carefully prepared...
How did the lady think about it? He said that he had not prepared food, but the lady asked the manager to attract people to the study. His heart was like a hundred blind bears trampled by him.
"Look at me, I've been so thin after just half a year in the southwest. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Wei Congzhi said as he picked up his collar and was indeed pulled apart.
Gu Chongyi was about to ask what happened.
Wei Congzhi turned around and touched the red fruit of the "persimmon", and his choking sound stopped: "Can this be eaten?"
You are a big-headed ghost. When buying it, the merchant said it was poisonous, but at this time Gu Chongyi wanted to nod and poison this thing to death, so he would be able to calm down in the rest of his life.
"Can't you eat?" Wei Congzhi said, "It's a pity, it's so beautiful, it can't be eaten... Otherwise, you can try it? If you're fine, I'll try it too."
Wei Congzhi touched the fruit lovingly.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chongyi couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "If you move again, get out of here."
"Okay," Wei Congzhi seemed to be coaxing the child, "I don't move anymore. I know you care about me, and I will never move anymore."
Too much concern, Gu Chongyi said coldly: "I'm afraid you'll get dirty for me." He was originally full of tenderness and sweetness, and was about to say when he was enjoying the flowers with his wife, that Wei Congzhi is now like this... His romance and flowers have all disappeared, how will he face his wife?
These "persimmons" were considered to be in vain.
Gu Chongyi said coldly: "Didn't the Wei family hold a banquet?"
Speaking of this, Wei Congzhi felt even more sad: "That was not for the banquet I had, it was to entertain the Hou Mu family in Xining."
Speaking of the Mu family, a strange expression flashed across Wei Congzhi's face. Gu Chongyi's heart moved slightly. If this thing goes to the southwest, nothing will happen, right?
Gu Chongyi said: "What did you do?"
Wei Congzhi shook his head: "I just accidentally got lost, grabbed a Mu family general to lead the way, explored the situation in the southwest border... I ate and stayed with that general, and taught him martial arts. All I did was good." I shouldn't have ended up in this situation.
