Ye Ruan was led by the old lady with bound feet as they walked along the covered corridor.
As they walked, the old lady with bound feet kindly and enthusiastically introduced Ye Ruan to the various landscaping features in the garden, as well as how the different courtyards were allocated for living.
Ye Ruan silently memorized the layout of the entire garden.
At the same time, he asked casually, "Grandmother, when we just got back yesterday, Gu Chen went to the ancestral hall. Where is the ancestral hall?"
Upon hearing Ye Ruan's words, the old woman with bound feet visibly tensed up, and a hint of wariness appeared in her already cloudy eyes.
She even subconsciously turned her head to look at Ye Ruan and found that Ye Ruan had an innocent face and clear, bright eyes, and did not seem to have any ulterior motives.
She then lowered her guard and said, "Ancestral halls are not built in places where everyone can see them. Our ancestors preferred quiet."
You don't need to rush to see the ancestors. After you marry Gu Chen, your name will be added to the family genealogy, and then you'll need to go to the ancestral hall to inform the ancestors.
As the old woman with bound feet spoke, Ye Ruan carefully observed the subtle expressions on her face.
As the old lady finished speaking, she looked away, her gaze casually sweeping across the southwest corner of the entire garden.
Just now, whenever the old lady with bound feet mentioned the ancestral hall, her gaze would unconsciously drift towards that direction.
Judging from what the old lady kept saying, today's party is the largest gathering the Gu family has held in many years, and all the close relatives will be there.
The original purpose was not just to find a blind date for Gu Chen alone, but to find a blind date for all the children in the family who were of marriageable age. Moreover, it was not just daughters of prominent families invited, but the entire families of several close aristocratic families.
Ye Ruan followed the old lady into the banquet hall.
Besides the busy mute servants, there were also many well-dressed young men and women in the hall. They must be the ones the old lady had mentioned earlier, who were of marriageable age but had not yet found a partner and needed to go on blind dates to find one.
Besides, there was a group of middle-aged women sitting together drinking tea, and a group of middle-aged men chatting together.
Gu Changxuan is the clan leader, and as his wife, the old lady naturally holds a high position in the clan.
Ye Ruan followed the old lady into the hall, where everyone sitting up stood up to greet her.
Naturally, everyone's attention was drawn to Ye Ruan, who came in with the old lady.
"Grandma, is this one of my brother's girlfriends? She's so beautiful!"
"Exactly! The moment you brought her in, she outshone us all!"
...
A group of young girls, not much older than Ye Ruan, gathered around the old lady, chatting amongst themselves.
As they looked at Ye Ruan, Ye Ruan was also looking at them.
It has to be said that the Gu family has excellent genes. Any girl present would be the center of attention if she went to a nightclub.
The old lady smiled and took Ye Ruan's hand, introducing her to everyone: "This is Miss Ye, and she is also your brother Gu Chen's girlfriend. Miss Ye has just come to our house as a guest and doesn't know our house very well. You all need to help your brother Gu Chen take good care of her."
Gu Chen didn't know the people in the old house, but they all knew his name very well.
Gu Chen was even the ideal partner for many of the girls present. If it weren't for the restrictions of blood ties, and the fact that they knew there was no possibility between them and Gu Chen, they probably would have already pounced on him when he returned.
Therefore, when they learned that Ye Ruan was Gu Chen's girlfriend, their gaze towards Ye Ruan changed slightly.
There was curiosity, hostility, and some people were clearly waiting to see what would happen.
However, out of consideration for the old lady, they still greeted Ye Ruan politely, and Ye Ruan returned their greetings with a polite smile.
