Chapter 162 Difficulties

This was a victory, but Gu Tingye, who had won, was still feeling complicated. He still didn't know how to face Ning Yuanhou's family. Just as Jinyan said, it would be fine if they were all at peace! Just

when he was thinking about a lot of things, Shitou hurriedly came to report that a distinguished guest had come. Gu Tingye quickly adjusted his mood, put on a big smile, and walked out the door with light steps. When no one was paying attention, he gently wiped the corners of his eyes, not letting any abnormality leak out.

Gu Tingye welcomed the guests in. The male guests were taken to Qi Heng, Changbai, Changfeng, and Gu Tingwei to entertain them, while the female guests were entertained by Yun Jinyan, Minglan, Rulan, and Molan.

The appearance of Minglan and her three sisters surprised the female guests present. Gu Tingye explained in time, "These are all sisters who are as close as our own family. Today, we specially invite them to entertain all the ladies and young ladies. I hope that you will feel at home." As soon as these words came out, the female guests suddenly realized that Minglan was of noble status. They felt honored to be entertained by her and felt valued. They couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Minglan smiled and said, "I was invited to assist Sister Yun, so the host is naturally Sister Yun."

Minglan smiled like a flower and said softly, "I was actually invited to assist Sister Yun, so the protagonist today is naturally Sister Yun." As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the female relatives naturally focused on Yun Jinyan, with curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes. Seeing this, Gu Tingye raised a gentle arc at the corner of his mouth and introduced to everyone, "This is my wife-to-be, Yun Jinyan. She will entertain you all on my behalf at today's family dinner, and I hope you all enjoy it."

With Gu Tingye present, the female relatives of each family naturally did not dare to neglect them, and nodded to Yun Jinyan one after another, but the enthusiasm was obviously more reserved and distant than when they talked to Minglan and her sisters. Gu Tingye was very clear-headed. He knew that the high officials in Tokyo would flatter the powerful and trample the weak. So before leaving, he specifically told Minglan, "Minglan, please take care of Jinyan for me. She is straightforward and I am afraid she will be wronged."

Yun Jinyan could certainly see the contempt and disdain in the eyes of the women, but she was always open-minded and at ease. She didn't care about other people's eyes the most. For her, her own happiness was the most important thing. Other people's attitudes were just passing clouds and smoke, not worth mentioning.

Therefore, Yun Jinyan seemed to be unable to see their contemptuous eyes, and still followed her original plan and arranged, calling the women to go to the garden.

Yun Jinyan led the way in front, Minglan greeted the ladies, and Molan and Rulan were able to get along with the daughters of various families.

"Fourth Miss, is that the man in front the one who is rumored to be General Gu's associate?" The one who asked was Bi Wenjiao, the daughter of the Minister of Rites.

Molan's face turned colder when she heard the unfriendly tone of the question, and her words were not very tactful. "Second brother Gu has just introduced Sister Yun as his fiancée. Didn't Miss Bi San hear it clearly?"

But maybe it was because Molan's voice was too gentle or Miss Bi San didn't understand what she said, she continued to say some unpleasant words, "There is no matchmaker or engagement, and the term 'wife-to-be' is just a nice way of saying it. She is going to be a concubine!"

Now even Ruolan could see that the visitor had bad intentions. She didn't like the tone of Miss Bi San when she talked about Yun Jinyan, "Sister Yun and Second brother Gu knew each

other when they were young. Thanks to Sister Yun, Second brother Gu has been able to cheer up. Besides, my Sister Yun is also from a big family in Lingnan." Seeing that the two sisters of the Sheng family were protecting Yun Jinyan, the girl who came with Bi Wenjiao hurried to mediate. "Oh, Wen Jiao is also a little curious about Miss Yun, so she said a few more words. Miss Four and Miss Five, please don't be offended!"

Rulan was indignant and wanted to say more, but was stopped by Molan to stop her from arguing. While

the girls were like this, the ladies were also asking Minglan about Yun Jinyan's news.

"I heard that Miss Yun came to Tokyo from Yuzhou with General Gu, but Miss Yun's accent doesn't sound like a Yuzhou native." A lady asked with interest.

Minglan maintained a dignified smile, "Sister Yun is from Lingnan, her father is a courier in Lingnan, and Second Brother Gu once worked under Sister Yun's uncle."

Minglan's words were said without leaving any trace, but in fact, she was telling the ladies that Yun Jinyan also had a background, and was not from a small family that could be manipulated by everyone.

After hearing this, the ladies knew that Yun Jinyan was Gu Tingye's fiancée, so they sat still and changed the subject.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the garden gradually became better. People recognized Yun Jinyan's status, and some people talked to her and Yun Jinyan. Yun Jinyan, with her unique bold and gentle temperament, shuttled between the guests and chatted happily with the ladies. The atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

But there was an inappropriate voice, "Miss Yun's Mandarin is really special, like singing a song, humming and humming, and it really has the rhythm of a southern opera troupe."

This is Lin Zhenzhen, the youngest daughter of the loyal general Lin Yu. General Lin has four sons, but only this daughter. He pampered her like a pearl and named her Zhenzhen. General Lin originally wanted to find a scholarly family for his daughter, but Miss Lin Wu loved heroes the most, and this hobby was the same as Yun Jinyan, and the people she liked were the same. She was proud of her family background and admired Gu Tingye, a young and promising general. Now that she saw Yun Jinyan by his side, she couldn't help but feel a little unwilling and jealous. The words were meant to belittle Yun Jinyan.

There were many girls who had the same idea as Lin Zhenzhen. When they heard her belittling Yun Jinyan, they all laughed softly, full of sarcasm.

Minglan felt that these girls were really sick. If there was no trouble at a banquet, it would be as if the banquet was incomplete. They would also target the host family. Gu Erge's preference for Sister Yun was so obvious, but these people pretended not to see it. There were so many good boys in the capital, but they had to stare at the one who had a boyfriend.

Yun Jinyan heard this and smiled coquettishly at Lin Zhenzhen, "Miss Ming said that Zhong Huai often praised my beautiful voice, and especially liked the tone of my voice. He said that I spoke like a lark, melodious and melodious." After saying this, she raised her eyebrows in a provocative manner.

Lin Zhenzhen didn't expect Yun Jinyan to respond so calmly, and was even outmaneuvered. She was speechless for a moment.

However, Lin Zhenzhen did not stop there. She changed the subject and her tone suddenly became sharp: "Although Miss Yun is from a prominent family in Lingnan, she has come from a long way. I'm afraid she doesn't know much about the rules and etiquette in the capital. The Gu family is a big family with many rules. If there is anything wrong, it will be a disgrace to General Gu."
