Chapter 51 Spring Banquet



What? What should she know? Are they familiar? Why should she know?

Gu Junwen’s little head was filled with big question marks.

"Everyone, turn on your mind-reading skills." In order to maintain his cool and calm image, Gu Junwen did not ask, but smiled mysteriously and gave the order to System 101 without changing his expression.

"Received." System 101 responded quickly, and the mind-reading ability was immediately activated. Text boxes appeared one after another, showing Lu Yu's thoughts.

I'm really sorry, Lu Yu, I didn't mean to peek into your thoughts. Gu Junwen secretly said he was offended and continued reading.

"Oh, so you are planning to join forces with the Lu family to open up trade in the northern border. That's a good thing." Gu Junwen nodded. It sounded good.

Trade does bring benefits to both sides.

"Then my Lu family is relieved." Seeing Gu Junwen nodded, Lu Yu raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "General Gu, don't worry, the Lu family will naturally arrange everything for the banquet."

banquet?

Gu Junwen couldn't control his expression for a moment, and his cool and steady personality almost broke down in an instant.

"What party?"

Lu Yu didn't hear clearly. He pretended to be poised and paced for a few steps, thinking seriously: "It's indeed difficult to deal with the Queen, but Imperial Concubine Yao will definitely help. After all, facilitating your marriage with the princess will not benefit her."

Ah? While Gu Junwen was confused, Lu Yu was thinking to himself, getting more and more excited as he walked: "I will go and arrange it now. General Gu, don't worry, the Lu family will not break the appointment."

After saying this, without even having time to say hello to Gu Junwen, Lu Yu leaped up and disappeared behind the wall.

What a man like the wind. Gu Junwen put down his hand awkwardly, and his polite goodbye aborted halfway.

"Tongtong, why do I feel something is wrong? What banquet? What does this have to do with Concubine Yao?" Gu Junwen shook his head, trying to get rid of the messy information in his head.

"Banquet?" System 101 searches the database and seems to have an impression of it.

However, I just cleaned up the memory to download a novel some time ago, and all the messages were deleted.

It shouldn't delay anything. The system secretly glanced at Gu Junwen.

"It's not important, just a small matter, it will be easy." System 101 said perfunctorily, with a hint of guilt.

It would be fine if everything was easy, but five days later, when Gu Junwen recalled System 101's words again, he didn't feel relaxed at all.

Who can tell her? Why did the Queen take the lead in hosting the matchmaking conference? The invitation was also delivered to her house.

Gu Junwen had noticed that all the elders who had men and women of marriageable age got married early.

Go to one wedding today to attend a wedding banquet, and go to another wedding banquet tomorrow.

Even Qishengchao's fertility rate this year is quite impressive.

In just these few short months, Gu Junwen had no idea how much money he had spent to attend the hundred-day banquets held in various mansions.

"Isn't that simple?" Shen Anan sat carelessly on a high stool. Hearing Gu Junwen muttering, he couldn't help but interrupt, "You count as one of the unmarried men and women in Kyoto, the Southern King counts as one, and the second son of the Duan Mansion counts as one..."

She counted on her fingers and looked at Gu Junwen, who came to a firm conclusion: "The wedding banquet is for you."

What? Gu Junwen instantly felt that the melon seeds in his hand no longer smelled good.

In the real world, she had also heard that parents would rush to arrange marriages for their children, but she never expected that one day, the pressure to get married would come to her.

After that, Gu Junwen jumped up and almost overturned the chair: "An An, let me ask you, does the Lu family have a girl who is waiting to be married?"

"This..." Shen Anan tilted his head and thought for a long time, "I heard Zhang Xing say yesterday that when he bought tofu, he heard Uncle Wang next door..."

“Get to the point!”

"Lu Yu has a biological sister who is fifteen years old and still unmarried." Shen Anan was startled and blurted out a string of key information.

"It's difficult to deal with the Queen." "Your marriage with the princess." Lu Yu's words swirled in his mind, and Gu Junwen finally realized it.

God wants to kill me! Gu Junwen's head suddenly swelled, and he didn't see his feet clearly, and fell to the ground.

"Young Master!"

Soon, rumors spread like wildfire beyond the high walls of Gu's house.

So much so that at the Spring Festival Banquet (the wedding urging banquet), even Ye Nanyi, who hadn't been seen for a long time, came up and said in a sarcastic tone: "Gu Junwen, I heard that you fainted because of the excitement of the blind date?"

"Your Highness, are you kidding? Am I that kind of person?" Considering that Ye Nanyiyi was the male lead, Gu Junwen forced a smile on his face and said jokingly.

Ye Nan glanced at her and left as if he was familiar with the place.

"Tongtong, help me remember this. When I get back, I'm going to teach Zhang Xing what the consequences of spreading rumors are."

Gu Junwen could figure it out with his toes that it must be Zhang Xing, the big mouth again.

Think about the complicated network of relationships in Kyoto, and how many relatives there are. Gu Junwen raised his hand to support his forehead, feeling helpless. But there was nothing he could do, as half of Kyoto probably knew about it.

"Young General Gu, please follow me and take a seat." His thoughts were interrupted. Upon hearing this, General Gu calmed himself down and was led by the eunuch to take a seat.

The Spring Festival Banquet is called the Spring Festival Banquet, but in fact it is just a subtle way of saying it is used to match suitable men and women for marriage.

This year's Spring Festival Banquet was particularly grand. It was hosted by the Queen herself and held in the Imperial Garden.

At this time, the garden had been properly arranged, with boys and girls of appropriate age sitting across the river, separated by a screen.

The young men and women attending the banquet took their seats in order of status and waited for the banquet to begin.

For the first time, Gu Junwen realized that arranging seating was a science.
