Chapter 25 The Twins

The Yuheng Garden was very lively on this day. Just as Nanny Li left, another person was sent from Gu Yuan's side. Not only people came, but also some scattered things. Gu Yuan almost thought of something. It was sent in one go.

Tea, incense, four treasures of the study, chessboard, felt, rattan ball, glazed beads, goat milk, jade pendant, jade ring finger...just tidying up these trivial things made Gu Yanfei feel happy.

Juan Bi counted everything:

"This is the best hair tip, the servant girl has to put it away by herself."

"This jade pendant and chessboard are for girls."

"These should be for Qingguang."

"..."

"Meow!" The milk cat was very satisfied with this, and patted the takraw ball with one paw.

The small sepak takraw ball rolled back and forth while the milk cat was chasing it, and the ringing bells could be heard endlessly.

Gu Yanfei fell asleep to the sound of the bell, and was awakened by the sound of the bell.

She ate her breakfast slowly, and then was led by Madam Li to the Gu's ancestral hall on the west side of the Hou Mansion.

The Baishiyong Road leading to the ancestral hall is clean, with green pines and cypresses planted on both sides, solemn and quiet. There is a plaque hanging at the entrance of the Baosha in front, with the four characters "Gu's Ancestral Hall" written in flying and phoenix dances.

Today's weather is fine, the sky is blue, and the golden sun is pouring down. The five main rooms stand quietly under the blue sky and white clouds, with cornices upturned.

When Gu Yanfei arrived, the Baosha was already full of clothes and temples, and the female family members from all the houses of the Hou Mansion were there, laughing again and again, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Second Miss, this way." Li Nanny walked ahead with a smile to lead Gu Yanfei, she was kind but not overly enthusiastic.

The people in Baoxia probably also noticed Gu Yanfei's arrival, and dozens of burning eyes flocked to Gu Yanfei like a tide, some of them looked at Gu Yanfei, some were curious, some were contemptuous, and some were careless.

Mrs. Gu also looked at Gu Yanfei with burning eyes, and the words Gu Yuan said to her yesterday sounded in her ears:

"Grandmother, since my sister has been found, shouldn't we open the ancestral hall as soon as possible? I think it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, why not choose tomorrow."

Mrs. Gu narrowed her eyes, her lips were tightly pursed into a straight line.

For the sake of Gu and Fang's marriage, she originally planned to open the ancestral hall and change the genealogy as soon as she returned to Beijing, but it was different for her to mention it, and it was different from Gu Yuan's opening, the latter made her feel coerced.

Mrs. Gu was not very happy. It was obvious that Gu Yuan had always been very filial to her before her second granddaughter came back.

Gu Yanfei glanced across the crowd in front of him lightly, and the familiar faces matched the names in his memory one by one.

Her steps stopped outside the Baosha, and the sunlight cast a faint golden halo around her body.

Chen Hui fell into the bottom of her eyes, making her pupils shine brightly, and her white skin like jade shone like pearls.

The face is clear and beautiful, the bearing is noble, and there is a temperament as bright as the sun and stars in his bones.

Several girls from the Gu family hid behind the wives and whispered to each other quietly, and occasionally words like "long house", "second sister", and "like a big brother" floated over intermittently.

"Second sister." It was Gu Yunxie who spoke first.

She smiled sweetly, with a pair of shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks, she was gentle and generous, and looked amiable.

"What a handsome girl!" A middle-aged beautiful woman in her early thirties with an oval face praised Gu Yanfei affectionately, with a gentle smile on her fair face, "This is the second niece, she really looks like a sister-in-law... ...I am your second aunt."

This beautiful woman is Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Dingyuanhou.

Gu Yanfei blessed Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Wang: "Mrs. Tai, Second Mrs."

This title made everyone's expressions a little subtle, secretly exchanging eyes, wondering if this girl is dull, or too understanding of the rules.

Mrs. Gu's face sank like water, she directly transferred her unhappiness towards Gu Yuan to Gu Yanfei, and said in a cold tone: "Next time, come earlier."

As she spoke, her eyes swept across the few strands of yellow and white hair on Gu Yanfei's shoulders, she frowned, and said, "Hurry up and get rid of that cat of yours, that cat is weird, it must be a monster!"

When she thought of a cat in the house, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Gu Yanfei smiled without saying a word, and sat down on his own.

"..." Mrs. Gu's heart was filled with evil fire, and the undercurrents in her eyes were turbulent.

In the tense atmosphere, a woman in gray clothes hurriedly came to report that Lord Hou and the patriarch had arrived, so all the female relatives, including Mrs. Gu, looked straight ahead.

The five doors in front were wide open, and a group of men of different ages and appearances entered one after another from outside the doors.

Walking in the front was an old man in black clothes who was in his sixtieth year and had gray hair and beard. He walked vigorously and was full of energy.

"Today is really troublesome uncle." Along with the old man was a blue-robed man in his thirties. He was tall and had handsome features. Unfortunately, his figure was a little bloated. He was the current Marquis of Dingyuan, Gu Jian.

Gu Jian treated the patriarch of the Gu clan with great respect.

"It should be, a family does not speak two different languages." The patriarch stroked his beard and said with a generous smile.

The two masters of the fourth and fifth houses of the Hou Mansion followed closely behind, and they were also talking with those clan elders, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Gu Yuan followed behind without saying a word. He was only seventeen years old, his handsome face was still somewhat childish, but his tall stature made him stand out from the crowd, and he showed a sense of pride in his gestures.

The female relatives surrounded Mrs. Gu and took a few steps forward, and greeted each other politely.

After a while, everyone sat down in the front hall of the ancestral hall one after another. Gu Jian and the patriarch sat side by side at the top, Mrs. Gu was at the bottom, and the others also sat down one by one.

On such a big occasion, most people are not qualified to speak at all, and most of them are silent, some play handkerchiefs, some lose their souls, some secretly yawn, and some quietly look at Gu Yanfei.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mrs. Gu finally got down to business, and raised her finger to Gu Yanfei who was sitting beside her.

"Patriarch, this girl is sister Xie's twin sister. Back then, their mother, Mrs. Xie, had dystocia. After giving birth to the two of them, she let her go."

"You also know that at that time the border area was in turmoil, and the wet nurse took care of the two sisters alone. She was powerless, so she accidentally lost this girl, and she came to the capital with only her sister in her arms..."

Mrs. Gu had already made up her speech, and she talked about it regardless of how everyone reacted.

The patriarch and the elders looked at each other, silently exchanging glances.

The story of the twins is really outrageous. It is obviously made up, but no one questions it.

Mrs. Gu had gotten along well with the patriarch and the others a long time ago, and she asked her cronies to hint at it yesterday. To put it bluntly, the patriarch and the others are just going through the motions when they come here today.

It doesn't matter what the truth is, the key is that this matter is beneficial to their entire Gu family.
