Gu Yongnian, who was feeling gloomy, decisively ordered: "Go and invite Master Xie to come in."
The boy hurriedly responded and was about to retreat when Gu Xinian added lightly: "Thank you, Master, for coming to Tingyuxuan. I happen to be very interested in raising birds, so it doesn't hurt to listen."
Ye Qinglan listened and couldn't help laughing. Why did she find such Gu Xinian so attractive? It was really hopeless...
The smile that bloomed in an instant was as beautiful as a flower. Gu Yongnian only took one look, and was overwhelmed with emotion. Just as he was about to take a second look, Gu Xinian beside him looked over coldly.
Gu Yongnian couldn't help but shudder, and decisively looked back.
The painful lesson from the last time is still vivid in my mind. I just teased Ye Qinglan a few words, and was dragged to the boat by the insidious cousin. I don’t know where I found a bunch of mediocre singers and dancers, and they took turns.
She winked at him and toasted him, and he almost vomited on the spot. What was even more hateful was that it was not just for one night, but for half a month!
From then on, he obediently avoided Ye Qinglan and almost took a detour. No matter how nice the beauty was, when he thought of his cruel and insidious cousin, he didn't dare to have any thoughts.
Gu Xinian stood up gracefully and said with a faint smile: "Cousin, we are going to listen to Yuxuan now. Don't keep the guests waiting."
Gu Yongnian got up obediently and walked away with Gu Xinian.
As soon as he entered Tingyuxuan, the terrible chirping of birds started to sound again. Gu Yongnian's face turned pale, and he reflexively wanted to find something to plug his ears. However, Gu Xinian looked over with a smile: "
The chirping of birds is indeed pleasant to the ears. Cousin, doesn’t it?”
Gu Yongnian didn't dare to say otherwise, and nodded with a grimace.
At this moment, Xie Peng also stepped into Tingyuxuan. When he first saw the birdcages in the yard, Xie Peng also looked at Gu Yongnian last night and was a little confused.
Raising birds is indeed an elegant hobby. It is very pleasant to raise two or three birds and hang them under the eaves to listen to the birds chirping. But the densely packed birdcages in front of you... are too exaggerated! He came two days ago.
At that time, there was not even a single bird feather here, so why did so many birds appear all of a sudden?
Gu Yongnian coughed: "Brother Xie. You came just in time. Let me introduce you. This is my fourth cousin."
Xie Peng composed himself, suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being, smiled and held his hands in his hands: "I have met Fourth Brother Gu."
Xie Peng had naturally heard about the famous Gu Silang for a long time. If nothing else, he knew that he was Gu Xiyu's biological brother. He had to behave well.
Thinking of this, Xie Peng's smile became more and more attentive.
Gu Xinian responded with a faint smile, and casually looked at Xie Peng, who was wearing a crimson satin robe, and made a quick judgment in his mind. He had oily hair, pink face, and an embroidered pillow. He belonged to the kind of person who was just idle, eating, drinking, having fun, and doing anything serious.
You dandy boy who doesn’t know how.
Of course, not everyone is qualified to be the son of a dandy. At least he must have a good father. Xie Peng's father is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a serious second-grade official. Although the Xie Mansion is not as rich as the noble family, but
Leveraging on Xie Shangshu's momentum, he became famous in the capital. Xie Peng was the only son of Xie Shangshu, so his family was inevitably pampered, and as a result, he became the same character as Gu Yongnian.
A person like this actually dares to take advantage of Yu'er... Gu Xinian sneered in his heart, but his face became more and more easy-going and polite: "How many years have I grown, so I asked you to shout Xie Xiandi. Yesterday Xie Xiandi specially came to
I sent two birds to Yongnian. I thanked Yongnian in advance."
Xie Peng smiled a little embarrassed. He and Gu Yongnian both knew exactly why they gave those two birds to Gu Yongnian. Gu Xinian probably didn't know. So he thanked him seriously, which made him feel a little rare.
Feeling guilty...
Gu Xinian seemed not to notice the evasion and guilt in his smile, and said with a smile: "I heard that Yongnian likes birds, so I asked someone to buy some back. I heard that Xie Xiandi is good at raising birds, so I have to do a good job today.
It would be better if you ask for advice, and I will learn a lot along the way." As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Yongnian.
... Just talk, can you please stop looking at him with such creepy eyes?
Gu Yongnian burst into tears in his heart, but he had to force a smile on his face to echo: "Yes, yes, my cousin said yes. I also want to learn how to raise birds."
Xie Peng didn't have any doubts, and immediately agreed with enthusiasm. It was a rare opportunity to show off, so of course he couldn't miss it. So, Master Xie put his hands up in a decent manner, walked under the cage, and spoke impassionedly
: "Raising birds seems simple, but if you want to raise them well, there are a lot of things to pay attention to. Let's take feeding as an example..."
Gu Xinian listened very attentively, and occasionally asked a few questions, asking Xie Peng to continue. Sometimes he didn't understand, so he smiled apologetically and said: "I didn't quite understand what you just said. Could you please say it again, brother Xie Xian?"
how?"
Xie Peng had to say it again from beginning to end, and his mouth was dry as he spoke. The birds chirped so loudly that it was hard to hear him even if he spoke softly, so he had to shout it out at the top of his lungs. In less than an hour, Xie Peng started
My throat feels hoarse and sore.
But Gu Xinian looked at him with approval and expectation, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue to persevere. In the end, he almost broke his throat from shouting...
Gu Yongnian turned his head to the side unbearably. It wasn't that he was unkind, but if he didn't let his cousin say this, I'm afraid he would still have a hard time in the future. So I had to sacrifice Xie Peng...
When Xie Peng's throat was so sore that he could hardly speak, Gu Xinian finally woke up and said apologetically: "It's all because of my lack of consideration that I keep dragging you here to talk. After talking for so long,
You must be tired and thirsty, go in and have a rest and drink some tea."
The little bit of unhappiness in Xie Peng's heart immediately disappeared, and he opened his mouth and said, "It's okay. If Brother Gu still wants to hear it, I'll talk about it later." He shouted at the top of his lungs for more than an hour, his voice dark.
He was so mute that he could hardly hear. He didn't realize that he had been tricked, so he smiled cheerfully.
Gu Xinian smiled, politely accompanied Young Master Xie into the main hall to drink tea and rest, and enthusiastically persuaded Xie Peng to stay for lunch before leaving.
Xie Peng was thinking about Gu Xiyu in his heart, and was thinking about finding a chance to meet Gu Xiyu. Hearing this, there was no way he would not agree. He immediately nodded and agreed with a smile. Then he drank hot tea while holding a cup of hot tea, thinking secretly in his heart, this future
The eldest uncle is really easy-going and amiable, not as exaggerated as Gu Yongnian’s usual complaints!
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed and he twitched the corners of his lips. He whispered to Quan Fu: "Let the kitchen prepare a table of good food and several jars of good wine." After a pause, he added in a low voice: "
Ask the cook to put more salt in every dish."
Quan Fu was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately went to the kitchen to give instructions.
Xie Peng drank three full cups of hot tea and finally managed to speak. He thought he had brought the topic to Gu Xiyu without leaving a trace: "...I offended Miss Gu by the pond yesterday. I feel really uneasy. I don't know what happened today."
Can I have a chance to accompany you in person..."
Gu Yongnian lowered his head with a grimace, "Brother, why don't you open and lift the pot?"
Gu Xiqian responded in a very tactful understatement: "Yu'er is shy by nature and will be nervous and scared when meeting strangers. Please be considerate, Brother Xie."
The words are euphemistic, but the implication is very clear. If I want to see Gu Xiyu, there is no way!
Xie Peng hit a soft nail, smiled coquettishly, and finally did not dare to mention Gu Xiyu's name again. But thinking of that beautiful girl who did not look like a mortal, his heart felt like being scratched by a cat's claws...
Gu Xinian took in Xie Peng's dejected look, and his eyes darkened. It was a rare day off today. He originally planned to spend time with Ye Qinglan, but he didn't expect Xie Peng to show up. He couldn't deal with him properly.
Come on, it’s hard to get rid of the boredom in my heart!
At noon, the three of them had lunch in Tingyuxuan.
Needless to say, there are good wines and good food. With Gu Xinian chatting and laughing beside him, the atmosphere is much more harmonious. However, there is one thing that is a little strange. Every dish seems to be a little saltier than usual... Not that at first.
I noticed it, but as I gradually ate too much, my mouth felt dry, and then unknowingly, I drank a little more than usual.
Soon, Gu Yongnian became drunk. Xie Peng's drinking capacity was not much better than Gu Yongnian's, and he also began to feel dizzy. But he couldn't help but Gu Xinian repeatedly enthusiastically persuaded him to drink, drinking one cup after another.
, it didn’t come to an end until I was lying on the table drunk and unconscious.
Gu Xinian was also a bit drunk, but his eyes were clear. He calmly ordered his servants to help Gu Yongnian and Xie Peng rest in the room. He then ordered Quanfu in a low voice: "Find a few people and beat them with sticks."
birdcage."
Birds kept in cages are actually very tame and do not chirp from morning to night. However, it is different if they are frightened...
Quanfu immediately understood what Gu Xinian meant, and secretly sighed for the two drunk and unconscious people. It's not good to offend anyone, but Gu Xinian must be provoked... Please pray for yourselves!
Drunk people all have this experience. There is nothing else but dizziness and headache. Even the slightest sound can’t stand in the ears. Not to mention the sharp calls of so many birds. It’s like a magic sound that penetrates the brain!
When Gu Yongnian was woken up, he had a splitting headache. He hurriedly found a piece of cloth and stuffed it into his ears. Finally, he felt a little better.
But Xie Peng was miserable. He drank more than Gu Yongnian, and he slept in a guest room next to the verandah. The sounds of birds chirping rushed into his ears, like dozens of people taking turns hitting him with sticks.
I was so drunk that I couldn't wake up. I could only listen to the chirping of birds, half asleep.
That miserable feeling cannot be described in words... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
