Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Qi Qingxi stared seriously at Gu Yu's eyes for a long time, then with a smile in his eyes, he stretched out his hand and tapped the tip of Gu Yu's upturned nose with his index finger, and said coquettishly: "So I will come to Linzhou Mansion because of you and uncle trap."

Gu Yu grabbed her hand, put his arms around her waist, pulled her into his arms, rubbed her with the tip of his nose, and said softly, "I have to do this, and I hope Madam will forgive me."

"What if I don't agree?" Qi Qingxi tilted her head and looked at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu smiled lightly and said, "No, I have confidence in Madam." He moved to her lips and kissed her lightly.

This scene happened to be encountered by Ginkgo who came in to report the matter to Qi Qingxi.

Ginkgo let out a "Yeah" and hurriedly retreated outside the door, blushing and stammering: "Miss, I...I don't know...you are..."

Qi Qingxi lightly hammered Gu Yu's chest twice, stood up from his lap, straightened her somewhat messy clothes, and called Ginkgo to come in.

After Ginkgo came in, she glanced back and forth between the two faces, then lowered her head and said shyly, "The county magistrate sent someone to invite you and Mr. Gu to have lunch."

Qi Qingxi: ...

As the person involved, she didn't blush and feel embarrassed, why is this girl so shy.

As for County Magistrate Zhou's invitation to dinner.

"Are you going?" Qi Qingxi asked Gu Yu.

Gu Yu nodded in agreement. After staying in the county government for a few days, County Magistrate Zhou did his best, so he naturally wanted to show off his face.

"I don't have the strength in my hands, please ask Xi'er to help me change my clothes."

No strength in your hands?Qi Qingxi secretly cursed in her heart, when she was pulled into her arms just now, she didn't look weak at all, and she didn't know how Gu Yu said this without blushing.

But she still stayed to help Gu Yu put on his coat, smoothing the wrinkles on his collar under Gu Yu's gentle gaze.

Then the two went to the back garden of the Xichuan County Government Office where Zhou County Magistrate hosted a banquet.

Seeing the figures of the two appearing in front of the garden gate, County Magistrate Zhou and his wife, Mrs. Chen, immediately went forward to greet them: "My lord, Madam please."

There are two round tables on the stone platform by the pond facing the garden pavilion. The two round tables are separated by a distance of one meter and separated by a large screen in the middle. theme.

On the female side, someone kept secretly looking at Gu Yu, and on the male side, someone stared at Qi Qingxi.

Gu Yu naturally noticed the man's eyes, he looked at the man displeased, then stood slightly sideways in front of Qi Qingxi, blocking the man's sight.

Magistrate Zhou and Mrs. Chen led Gu Yu and Qi Qingxi to sit at the table respectively. After they sat down, the others followed suit.

Chen pointed to Qi Qingxi, a table full of seven or eight female family members, and introduced: "These are my family's daughters-in-law."

On the other side, County Magistrate Zhou was also introducing the table full of men to Gu Yu.

Magistrate Zhou waved his hand to signal everyone to stand up, while he stood respectfully beside Gu Yu and said, "This is the son-in-law of the lower official, thank you for your kindness to come to the banquet."

"Master Zhou is polite." Gu Yu sat upright and glanced at everyone, especially the man who had just looked at Qi Qingxi, he took a second look.

County magistrate Zhou observed his words and expressions, and immediately said: "This is the eldest son-in-law of the lower official. He was lucky enough to be selected. Now he is studying at home and preparing for the exam."

Zhou county magistrate invited Gu Yu to dinner this time, naturally he had his considerations.

Although this eldest son-in-law is not in his consideration, but if his son-in-law can get into the eyes of the magistrate by chance, it can be regarded as his luck.

After all, he still knows how much the son-in-law weighs. Although he won the Juren, he was lucky to get the last place. After that, he also participated in three or four general examinations, but he was not so lucky to go to high school.

But if you can win the favor of the magistrate and get a half-time official, it doesn't matter whether you will try it or not.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his introduction, Gu Yu only gave a faint "hmm", and didn't say a word after that.

Magistrate Zhou was not discouraged either. After all, it doesn't matter whether the son-in-law can succeed. He immediately ordered his servants to prepare for the banquet.

County Magistrate Zhou was holding a jug to pour wine for Gu Yu, but Gu Yu put the wine glass upside down on the table: "I'm sorry, Gu's injury is still not healed, Madam told me not to drink alcohol."

"That's right, that's right, if you forget it for a while, you should punish yourself with three cups." County magistrate Zhou immediately drank three cups with the wine cup as a gesture of apology.

Hearing Gu Yu mention his wife, the eldest son-in-law of County Magistrate Zhou immediately thought of that meandering face just now, and subconsciously looked at the female guest on the other side of the screen.

Gu Yu tapped on the table with her fingers, looked at him, and said expressionlessly, "Master Zhou's son-in-law, what are you looking at?"

As if knowing that his actions had been seen through, the son-in-law of County Magistrate Zhou got up immediately, but accidentally knocked over the wine cup in front of him, splashing water all over his body.

He was fine just now, and I don't know why his son-in-law suddenly annoyed Mr. Gu.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Zhou immediately asked him to go down and change his clothes, and secretly told his servants to order him not to come again, so as not to affect the mood of the adults and spoil his good deeds.

After a series of delicacies were served, County Magistrate Zhou got up and slightly bent over to look at Gu Yu and said, "Having a banquet like this is a bit boring. It just so happens that the third daughter of the official is good at learning the pipa and can play some music. Why don't you let her come up?" How about playing a few tunes to cheer you up?"

Gu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at County Magistrate Zhou. He had inquired about the temperament of those officials under him early in the morning.

This surname Zhou is used to others using these methods to please him, and he is also used to using such methods to please Shangguan.

Gu Yu chuckled lightly, stroked the water glass in his hand twice: "Yes."

Gu Yu guessed that Qi Qingxi and the Chen family definitely had nothing to talk about. She was afraid that she would be bored at that table, so it would be good if someone would come out and play a little song to relieve her boredom.

Gu Yu's guess is right, Qi Qingxi really has no desire to chat with Mrs. Chen.

This Chen family has been saying how tolerant she is to her husband's concubines, and treats the children born to her concubines as if they were her own.

He pointed to a certain two girls on the table and told her that these were her two concubine daughters. Their food and clothing expenses were no different from those of her two daughters born by concubines, and even the sons born by concubines were raised as their own sons.

Qi Qingxi really couldn't understand what the Chen family wanted to say to her.

Until a graceful figure appeared in the pavilion of the pond holding a pipa and bowing to them, Chen and Qi Qingxi introduced: "This is the third daughter of my concubine's family."

Qi Qingxi had a clear face, so she was waiting for her here, um... To be precise, it should be waiting for Gu Yu.

This Mrs. Chen just boasted for a long time how well she treated her concubines and concubines. She originally wanted Qi Qingxi to learn a thing or two from it, so that she would not mistreat the daughter of the Chen family and the future grandson of the Chen family. female.

Looking at her daughter who was holding the pipa in front of her, Chen Shi secretly sighed in her heart.

If the master hadn't kept talking in the third child's ear about how handsome, young and promising Mr. Gu was, and why he would have taken his daughter to peek at Mr. Gu, how could such an arrogant girl like the third child in her family be reconciled? For a concubine.
