Chapter 265 Everyone is here
Walking around the corridor, bursts of laughter could be heard from the main hall, mixed with occasional whispers.
There were several long queues outside the main hall, and the maids and servants who had greeted Yao Jia immediately lined up at the end.
Yao Jia quietly walked over and looked inside, her pupils trembled.
The number of servants serving outside the main hall was more than three times that of usual days, and it was crowded and bustling.
A flower pot as big as a bowl was carried by a servant from here, and he walked around in front of the main hall. He stretched his neck to look inside for a few times, then returned it and handed it to the next person...
A broom, this one finishes sweeping, the next one takes over...
He seems to be busy, but in fact he is just pretending. He just makes a show of showing off in front of the door and then comes back.
"What are you guys doing?"
The servants all stretched their necks to look inside, not paying much attention to what she said.
There was a kind-hearted person who answered her question without even turning his head, "Of course, we are queuing up to see the general star..."
Yao Jia pondered carefully in her heart, isn’t the star general Gu Xiyan?
"What's so good about him?"
The man snorted coldly, "How can it be ugly? He is a great hero of Daxia. If it weren't for General Gu, we wouldn't know how long the war with Liang would last."
After hearing this, everyone agreed.
They all turned around, ready to see who was so ignorant as to belittle General Gu.
When I turned around, the discussions stopped abruptly and the originally noisy doorway suddenly became silent.
The pairs of eyes were bigger than copper bells.
Yao Jia raised an eyebrow and scanned them one by one, "What's wrong? Each of you looks like you've seen a ghost."
At this time, not far away, two servants started fighting over who would go into the house to add tea for everyone.
This startled everyone in the main hall.
Lin Congmo looked at Bai Huahua, who immediately understood and bowed to the first few people.
After the people left, Lin Congmo said with a smile: "Excuse me, my in-laws. These kids are really ignorant."
Madam Gu quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't say that, my husband and I are used to this kind of situation."
Lin Congmo: …………
"how do I say this?"
Lord Gu just smiled and said nothing.
Gu Xiyan stopped her, "Mom, don't talk nonsense..."
"Go away." Madam Gu ignored his obstruction and continued with a proud look on her face, "My dear relatives, you may not know that my Sanlang has been good at martial arts since he was young, and he has a handsome appearance. Since he was twelve years old..."
Gu Xiyan glanced at everyone in the room, his handsome face flushed with embarrassment. He couldn't understand what was wrong with his mother. She kept talking about things from their childhood over and over again.
He lowered his voice and called out, "Mom... stop talking..."
Madam Gu pretended not to hear and continued to talk in detail about what she had seen and heard outside the city today.
"My dear relatives, please don't disbelieve me. Today..."
Madam Gu looked at Yao Jia's nominal fathers and uncles in the room, especially Su Mu who had a goatee.
"It was the scene outside the city today. Look at those girls and young ladies. Which one of them didn't come for my Sanlang? The red silk in their hands and the shouts that broke through the sky..."
Lin Congmo: …………
An awkward smile.
Su Mu: …………
A look of disdain
Xuanying: …………
Can't see the face
Huaichuan and Langyue looked at each other, and then looked at Mingjue who was sitting beside them.
The atmosphere in the room made these young people feel uneasy, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
Sheng Wulian looked towards the door, hoping Yao Jia would come back soon.
Outside the main hall, Yao Jia listened with a depressed look on her face as Bai Huahua described the situation before she came back.
The palace received news a few days ago that the diplomatic envoy would arrive in Beijing today, so naturally a lot of preparations were made to welcome her.
Knowing that Yao Jia had to go to the palace to meet the emperor before returning home, everyone stood outside the gate waiting for her on time.
But the bad thing was that the carriage that came to pick up Gu Xiyan arrived home first.
When the servants in the mansion saw Gu Xiyan getting off the carriage, they all rushed forward as if they were injected with chicken blood.
He looked so enthusiastic, as if he was meeting his ancestor.
Gu Xiyan looked like a stepmother outside the city, but now that she had come to Nangong Mansion, she couldn't bear to reject everyone's kindness, so she had to patiently respond to them one by one.
This made the servants even more excited.
A huge group of people welcomed him in.
Bai Huahua shouted behind him for a long time, but no one answered.
He also learned from the coachman that Yao Jia and Nangong Xiu Lan were driving to the suburbs, so he followed the crowd in annoyed.
"I remember leaving a few people at the door to greet you. Why didn't anyone call you back?"
Yao Jia snorted coldly. It would have been better if she hadn’t mentioned it. She got even angrier when she heard it.
When the real owner came back, nothing happened and the treatment was perfunctory. When Gu Xiyan came back, everyone lined up to be served.
He glanced at Nangong Xiu Lan with an unfriendly look and walked inside.
Nangong Xiu Lan coughed uncomfortably and followed.
Bai Huahua reminded from the other side: "Yaoyao, Lord Gu and Madam Gu are inside."
Yao Jia stopped and looked sideways at him, "Why are they here too?"
"You and Gu Xiyan are getting married soon, isn't it normal for them to come?"
Yao Jia knew that she and Madam Gu did not get along well, and was afraid that something might happen, so she simply avoided them.
"Forget it. I'm tired anyway. Let's go back to the yard and rest."
Having said that, he walked back.
Bai Huahua hurriedly called her, "Yaoyao! You can't leave."
Yao Jia stopped, looking puzzled, "Why?"
Bai Huahua walked forward and held her hand. Today was the official meeting between the two families before the wedding, and she could not be absent.
"Dr. Su and Ming Jue are here too."
"What?" Yao Jia was shocked. "They... Could it be that... Uncle Su is here to settle accounts with me?"
Bai Huahua smiled and scratched her upturned nose, "What nonsense are you talking about? Divine Doctor Su came back with Daddy, and Master Xuanying also came back. Mingjue came back from Lingyun Palace with Hongying."
Yao Jia blinked her eyes and said that now, except for Shuanghua and Ye Sinan, the family is almost complete.
Take a deep breath. What you have to face will have to be faced sooner or later. Let the storm come even harder!
He walked towards the main hall with the attitude of a warrior ready to die.
Just as she stepped onto the stone steps of the main hall, a teacup flew towards her. Yao Jia instinctively dodged to the side, and the teacup broke into pieces behind her, splashing tea everywhere.
Several people looked confused.
Then several more teacups flew out, and the people reacted quickly and dispersed.
One or two would be fine, but when so many tea cups flew out at once and there was no sound in the room, several people realized something was wrong.
Yao Jia didn't dare to go forward, and shouted into the house, "Daddy, what's going on in there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "crackling" sound of countless disks falling to the ground and breaking into pieces.
Yao Jia's heart tightened and she quickly rushed into the house.
All the people were intact, some sitting or standing in the house, with broken pieces of teacups scattered on the ground.
He breathed a sigh of relief, "What were you doing just now?"
When everyone saw her come in, they all came forward and asked her about her well-being.
Yao Jia raised her hand to stop everyone and insisted that they explain what had just happened.
Lin Congmo coughed lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Well... what? Your mother-in-law suggested that we old people perform a talent show at your wedding... so we... ahem... "
Before Lin Congmo finished speaking, he frowned and started coughing violently.
Seeing this, Su Mu hurried forward to feel his pulse and frowned instantly, "The Qi is flowing backwards, Jue'er, come quickly and give your father two injections."
"No need for acupuncture." Madam Gu stopped Ming Jue from approaching and said to Gu Xiyan, "Sanlang, go and give your father some energy."
Gu Xiyan glanced at Yao Jia, then helped Lin Congmo sit aside and channeled his internal energy into him.
Yao Jia looked at him with a worried look on her face.
Madam Gu pulled her aside to comfort her, "Don't worry, Yaoyao, I'm familiar with losing my true energy, and it will be fine in a while, it won't be a problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Congmo spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound.
Everyone was shocked.
Madam Gu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Once the blood is spit out, your Qi will naturally flow more smoothly."
Everyone:…………
Yao Jia took out a handkerchief from her bosom, stepped forward to wipe the blood from the corner of Lin Congmo's lips, and asked in a soft and concerned voice, "Daddy, how do you feel?"
Lin Congmo took a deep breath, circulated his internal energy, and nodded, "It's all right."
Su Mu was still worried and insisted on taking his pulse again. Only after making sure that he was really fine did he feel relieved.
Madam Gu curled her lips, rolled her eyes in disdain, and muttered quietly, "I said I'm fine, why am I still taking your pulse?"
