Da Qin holds a Chinese Valentine's Day banquet in the palace every year. Only ladies from famous families and unmarried men and women are invited to the banquet.
The emperor and empress would also attend, and for this reason, unmarried women and men in the capital were all proud to receive invitations to the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet.
At the banquet, both men and women have the opportunity to perform. Every year at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, amazingly talented people will appear, such as Feng Sijin, Jiao Xiangdi, Feng Yuqian and others.
Gu Qianxue attended many Chinese Valentine's Day banquets. Although she was not a blockbuster at the banquets, she was still somewhat famous. This was how she was able to seduce Qin Yunchu.
As for the original owner? In Gu Qiancheng's memory, the original owner had never attended the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet. Mrs. Gu would never take her to such a banquet where she could show her face in front of the emperor and empress on the grounds that Gu Qiancheng was engaged.
.
If the marriage contract between the original owner and Qin Yunchu hadn't been there, no one else would have known that there was a legitimate eldest daughter in the Gu family.
The original owner really has no sense of existence!
After thinking about the routine of the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, Gu Qiancheng said that she had no interest in this kind of blind date banquet, especially since she was on the cusp of the storm, and attending the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet would only be ridiculed.
Gu Qiancheng shook the post in his hand and asked, "Grandpa, can I not participate?" Anyway, I don't go every year, so not participating today is not special.
"I'm afraid not." The old man knew what Gu Qiancheng was worried about and comforted him: "Don't worry, Qiancheng. This is a post sent to you by the imperial concubine herself. With the imperial concubine here, no one dares to look down on you."
"Why did the Imperial Concubine leave me a message?" Gu Qiancheng was very puzzled. Even if he had never met Gu Guifei, Gu Qiancheng could feel that Gu Guifei disliked her very much and would never do such a thing to praise her.
thing.
If Concubine Gu didn't like her, how could the fifth prince not even remember the life-saving grace of the original owner.
"I'm going to ask the imperial concubine to help you clear your name. Qiancheng, the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet is a good opportunity. As long as you win the lottery at the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet, no one will mention what happened before. You will only be talented and beautiful.
The reputation of having the best of both worlds.
It doesn't matter even if you are not outstanding. Your appearance at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet represents the attitude of my Gu family. No matter what happens, you will be the eldest daughter of my Gu family. The Crown Prince of Chu will not marry you because he has no vision. Cancel
The engagement is the loss of Prince Zhao's house and has nothing to do with you." Of course the old man knew the rumors from the outside world. If not for this, he would not have bothered to court Concubine Gu.
In his opinion, Qiancheng is the most outstanding daughter of the Gu family, even better than her aunt, and he cannot let Qiancheng bear the burden of disgust. No matter how the outside world criticizes Qiancheng, the Gu family must stand firm and cannot let people underestimate Qiancheng.
.
"Qiancheng, the entire Gu family has your back. The Gu family will not treat you as an abandoned son just because your engagement with Prince Chu has been terminated. You... will always be the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and no one can replace you.
.”
Although the old man said these words to warm Gu Qiancheng's heart, more importantly, he thought Gu Qiancheng was worthy. In the entire Gu family, only Qiancheng was the most sober.
To put it bluntly, maybe the future of the Gu family will once again rest on a woman.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I understand what Grandpa means. I will never let Grandpa down." Gu Qiancheng held the post and solemnly thanked the old man.
This was the first time that the old man stood clearly on her side. Although Gu Qiancheng knew that the old man saw the value in her, what was wrong with this?
At least the old man is smart and rational... In this way, she will be better off in the Gu family.
As for Concubine Gu?
No matter whether Concubine Gu dislikes her or not, they are all daughters of the Gu family. When the old man supports her, Concubine Gu has to endure it even if she doesn't like her!
Taking the post, Gu Qiancheng returned to his small courtyard and found that her small courtyard had been completely renewed after ten days. Before Gu Qiancheng had time to ask why, the third lady walked out of the courtyard.
"Qiancheng, you are back. Third aunt has been waiting for you for a long time." The third lady was more enthusiastic towards Gu Qiancheng than before.
Gu Qiancheng understood the reason, but pretended he didn't know: "Third Aunt, why did my yard become like this?"
The old exterior walls have been repainted, the dead old trees have been removed, and a beautiful swing frame has been built. The yard, which was originally a pile of mud, has been carefully tidied up and beautiful flowers have been transplanted.
The gravel-paved paths have been replaced by bluestone slabs, and the doors and windows have been replaced with new ones. The windows in the study are the same as those in the old lady's room, and are made of the most expensive colored glass on the market...
The entire courtyard is no worse than the old lady's courtyard.
The third lady took Gu Qiancheng around and asked proudly: "Do you like it? Your third uncle and Chengyi put a lot of effort into cleaning this up for you. The old man won't let you go."
We told you that we wanted to give you a surprise."
"It's indeed a big surprise." Gu Qiancheng nodded repeatedly. She didn't know that the dilapidated courtyard she lived in would be so nice after tidying it up so that reading in the courtyard would be a good pleasure.
"The third uncle and Chengyi are interested." A lot of small things were added to the yard, and there was also a separate kitchen. There were many small details. Even Gu Qiancheng knew about them and didn't pay attention to them, but the third uncle and Chengyi thought of them all.
"Your third uncle and Chengyi are more attentive than decorating their own rooms. Your third uncle personally bought some good things for you."
The third lady smiled and said in a low voice: "The old man wanted you to move to Zi'an Courtyard, but I'm afraid you didn't like it, so he asked me to redevelop your courtyard."
"Grandpa is interested." It was inconvenient for her to move in and out of Zi'an Courtyard, so the old man would not let her move to Zi'an Courtyard.
"The old man is really good to you." What the third lady said was not at all against her will: "The old man received your dowry from his private treasury and said that he would leave it all to you in the future. You don't know that the Duke and the eldest lady were at that time
His face is so ugly."
"Grandpa is good to every grandson and granddaughter." Gu Qiancheng sighed in his heart. The old man was the only person in the entire Gu family, and he was indeed attentive to her.
He tidied up the yard for her, took the blame for her dowry, and personally begged Concubine Gu so that she could attend the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet...
The old man is indeed thoughtful.
People's hearts are made of flesh. If the old man is good to her, Gu Qiancheng will naturally be good to the old man. Even if Gu Qiancheng doesn't look down on the entire Gu family, there is an old man who she is willing to take a high look at the Gu family...
"Third Aunt, I will go and thank Third Uncle and Chengyi in person later." Gu Qiancheng sent the guests off tactfully.
The third lady didn't stop anymore and just said: "Thank you, there's no need. The two of them are just joining in the fun, but you should go and see Chengyi when you have time. That kid has been talking about you all day long these two days. He talks a lot about you.
Sister Cheng..."
Qiancheng himself is smart, and now he has the favor of the old man. His son has a good relationship with Qiancheng. Qiancheng is promising, and Chengyi will be indispensable in the future. The third lady is happy that Qiancheng and Chengyi have a better relationship.
Siblings should support each other. If Chengyi succeeds in the future, she will keep an eye on her son and not let Qiancheng be wronged.
"Okay, I'll pack up and then go see Chengyi." Gu Qiancheng agreed. The third lady was about to leave. After taking two steps, she quickly turned around as if she was thinking of something...
