Jiang He's arrival did not attract the attention of others.

When Wei Rou saw Jiang He was seated, she felt relieved a little. After looking away, Gu Xi had already put a lot of food into her bowl.

Wei Rou: ...

Good general, today is not a special trip to eat!

It's a pity that Gu Xi is so ignorant of flattery, he doesn't like to socialize, and he doesn't like to communicate with others.

The familiar officials all knew Gu Xi's temperament, and they came to the main table to toast Song Chengxiang, but they didn't dare to take a second look in Gu Xi's direction.

Some even left quickly after paying respects, as if Gu Xi would be angry in the next moment.

Seeing these officials doing all kinds of tricks to avoid Gu Xi, Wei Rou covered their mouths and sniggered.

She reached under the table and squeezed his leg.

Gu Xi's body was slightly stiff, and he looked at her sideways, with some doubts in his eyes.

Wei Rou whispered, "Today is Prime Minister Song's birthday anyway, why don't you give him a toast?"

Gu Xi did not refuse.

Wei Rou poured him a glass of wine with a smile.

Gu Xi hurriedly stood up.

A few steps away, those who were coming up to toast all stopped, holding their breath and watching Gu Xi's movements.

Gu Xi was tall and burly, and when he stood up, a dark shadow surrounded him.

Both Prime Minister Song and Duke Wei were taken aback.

Gu Xi picked up the wine glass that Wei Rou handed over, and raised it in the direction of Prime Minister Song, with a low voice.

"President Song has a long life."

Just such a short four words, but it gave Prime Minister Song enough face.

Prime Minister Song also stood up, with a faint smile on his face, and a glass of wine in return.

This scene stunned a group of officials.

You must know that General Gu has never given a good face to any official in the court, but now he is able to sit with Song Prime Minister Wei Guogong so peacefully. Could it be that General Gu has changed his temper?

Where there is a coward, there is an iron-headed baby.

Some were officials who had just taken office and hadn't had much contact with Gu Xi. Seeing that he didn't seem to be as cold-blooded and ruthless as the rumors said today, they boldly stepped forward and wanted to establish a good relationship with the general.

"General, sir—"

As soon as he stretched out his hand holding the wine glass, Gu Xi grabbed it with his backhand. The wine glass fell to the ground, and the man let out a piercing cry.

The entire banquet hall was silent.

Gu Xi's sharp gaze cut across his body like a knife blade before shaking off his hand.

"roll."

The official didn't dare to try to win him over, and stumbled back to his original position.

This is simply the devil!

Others who had the same thoughts as the official died down.

Wei Rou had a headache, she had just given Prime Minister Song some face, but now she ruined his situation.

Fortunately, Prime Minister Song didn't seem to mind, which made Wei Rou feel a little relieved.

Madam Song was sitting beside Wei Rou. Seeing that she ate less, Madam Song whispered to her: "But the dishes at the house are not to your liking? Shall I ask the kitchen to cook you something else?"

Wei Rou was flattered, she hurriedly said: "Madam Song, don't bother, these dishes are all delicious, but I always eat less."

Mrs. Song insisted: "Then I'll ask someone to cook some soup for you."

Before Wei Rou could say anything, Mrs. Song had already called the housekeeper over, and after a few careful instructions, the housekeeper hurriedly withdrew.

"Rou'er thank Mrs. Song for her kindness."

Wei Rou had no choice but to thank her repeatedly, she didn't expect Mrs. Song to be so enthusiastic, she couldn't refuse and had to accept it.

Mrs. Song said with a smile: "When I first saw you, I felt very sleepy. This is also fate. If you are willing, I would like to recognize you as a righteous daughter, okay?"
