"This Lord Gu is a nobleman from the capital. He has seen all kinds of wealth. He wants the best wine and the freshest ingredients..."
Song arranged his clothes while agreeing to everything. She only said, "Don't worry. Although the Gu family is wealthy, our Shen family is also well-off. How can we not let him enjoy himself?"
Shen Bin said again: "In addition..."
"There are many beauties in Jiangbei, some are plump and some are thin, there will always be one that the Marquis likes."
Shen Bin was finally relieved after hearing this. He grabbed Song's hand and patted it, "Madam, you always do things so properly." It was a pity that his eldest daughter of marriageable age had already married, his legitimate daughter was only twelve years old, and the remaining seventh child was even younger. Otherwise, he would have tried his best to squeeze the girl from the Shen family into the luxurious courtyard of the Gu family!
Song also felt sorry, but she couldn't give birth to a perfect girl at this moment!
Gu Yong usually liked to wear grey clothes. Men from the military camp were not so particular, and grey was more resistant to dirt. But today he dressed up well, with his black hair tied up with a jade crown, and a gorgeous gown to match his appearance. When he came out from behind the lantern, the girls in the banquet hall were almost blinded by his gaze.
With red faces, they followed their elders and greeted the Marquis.
"Shen Bin and the Shen family members come to meet the Marquis and welcome him!" Shen Bin knelt down and saluted deeply.
Gu Yong's eyes swept over all the living people in the Shen family's yard, and finally landed on Shen Bin's head, and said, "Why can't I see the seventh lady?"
Before Shen Bin could speak, Song hurriedly said, "In reply to the Marquis, the seventh girl is not feeling well today, so I will let her have a good rest in the courtyard."
"Is she sick? Wasn't she fine before?"
Shen Bin also said: "The child is still young and a little weak..."
But Lord Gu in the hall didn't say anything, and didn't even ask him to get up. Shen Bin felt a little uneasy.
Gu Yong didn't say anything or call out, but instead took the wine glass and began to drink by himself. The atmosphere became cold for a while, and some of the petty officials below didn't even dare to breathe.
The servant naturally understood his master's intention, and seeing that Lord Shen, who was kneeling on the ground, still seemed confused, he gave him a way out.
"Sir... Didn't you understand the Marquis's thoughts during the day? If you want to make the Marquis happy, your young mistress alone is enough, right?" He looked at the girls that Shen Bin brought with him, "The Marquis likes Miss Seven, and he can't stand her being bullied. Sir, please don't flatter him."
What a sin! Shen Bin didn't expect that Marquis Gu would ignore all the beautiful women in the room and only think about his seven-year-old daughter.
Although he was afraid that Shen Qingqiu would become evil, he still wanted to be rich and powerful. If the Marquis really liked him so much... who knows... so he tried to test him: "Marquis, the doctor in the mansion just said that Qiu'er is much better. I forgot about it when I didn't check it. Should I send someone to bring Qiu'er here now?"
There is no doctor here. Everyone knows this is an excuse.
But Gu Yong, who was sitting on the throne, smiled and raised his hand to support Shen Bin. "I was distracted and forgot to ask Lord Shen to stand up. Please stand up quickly. You and I are officials in the same court. How can I ask you to kneel before me?"
How could he be in a daze? It was clearly for the sake of the Seventh Girl. Shen Bin now felt that he had grasped Marquis Gu's thoughts.
"Master, the seventh girl is still sick. If she gets sick..." Song wanted to struggle, but Shen Bin stopped her. "How can a noble like the Marquis be infected by his illness?" He glared at Song fiercely and said, "Why don't you get someone to bring Qiu'er here!"
Even though Song was extremely unwilling, she didn't dare to say anything in front of others.
Half a cup of tea later, the old lady led the way, and someone opened the curtain from the outside. Liu came in first. At night, she was wearing a cloak, and her hair was hidden behind her head like a pile of dark clouds. When she raised her eyes slightly, she saw her bright eyes under the watery moonlight. Gu Yong leaned slightly, and his eyes fell on Liu without fail.
