Chapter 417: Brothers Meet
Gu Jingchun chuckled.
"Miss Situ, what you said is very strange. His Majesty is very busy with state affairs. He must be in the palace handling state affairs right now. Why would he come here?"
As Gu Jingchun was speaking, the servant at the door suddenly came to report.
"Miss, your sworn brother, Master Ye, is here to congratulate you on your birthday."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun stood up and immediately went to the door.
When the noble ladies behind him heard what their sworn brother and his two sons had said, they all stood up and prepared to go and see what was going on.
After all, everyone knows now that Ye Wenxi actually recognized Gu Jingchun as her sworn sister.
They didn't know that Ye Wenxi was also from Tianjing Trading Company, so they all thought that Ye Wenxi was a sycophant.
Seeing that Shen Hechuan liked Gu Jingchun, he rushed to become Gu Jingchun's sworn brother, clearly wanting to please both Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan.
Therefore, they all subconsciously looked down on Ye Wenxi.
At this moment, everyone also thought that Ye Wenxi, a man who was willing to abandon his ancestors and surname for fame, wealth and status, could be anything good.
However, they had just taken a few steps when they saw servants coming towards them carrying trays one after another.
The servant at the door was still shouting loudly.
"A thousand-year-old ginseng..."
"A pigeon egg pearl necklace from the South China Sea."
"A jadeite carved treasure bottle Guanyin."
"A pair of emerald green Fu Lu Shou bracelets."
"A set of ruby filigree headpieces."
…
The servant at the door shouted one sentence after another, and the servant carrying things went back and forth again and again, but the things still continued to be carried up.
Now not only these noble ladies, but even the common people who were having a meal at the door were surprised.
"Oh my goodness!"
"Who on earth is this Ye Wenxi? How come he has so many good things?"
"I can't even think of any of these names!"
"I heard that Ye Wenxi has now recognized Gu Jingchun as her adopted sister. If I had such a rich brother, I would probably wake up with a smile on my face."
But Situ Mingji was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"This... How is this possible? Ye Wenxi is just an ordinary poor scholar. How could he have so much money to buy these things?"
Gu Jingchun: "Is it not okay if it's a family heirloom?"
"Or maybe it was a reward from His Majesty, isn't that okay?"
"Why do you think he can't have so many good things?"
Situ Mingji was speechless after hearing Gu Jingchun's words.
He looked at Gu Jingchun angrily.
Chang Zhaozhao also spoke.
"Miss Gu, why won't you let anyone speak?"
Gu Jingchun looked at her directly.
"how?"
"Miss Chang, you still haven't gotten over your habit of talking nonsense. Do you want me to help you?"
Jiang Mingwan on the side also spoke up.
"Miss Gu, you're worrying too much. They didn't mean that. They were just too surprised."
"snort!"
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with being surprised, but I'm afraid that some people with ulterior motives may have looked down on us from the beginning and were just looking for fun.
In the end, she discovered that the other person was much better than she thought, so she would lose her defense, become dissatisfied, and even spread rumors to satisfy her own imagination, right? "
Situ Mingji was speechless because of her blockage, and finally snorted coldly.
"It's just something insignificant. What's so great about it? I'm too lazy to tell you."
Having said that, he returned to his seat first.
Seeing this, everyone followed him back.
And then, Gu Erli also hurried over.
But because he was a man, it was not convenient for him to stay at the same table with the ladies, so he simply let them go to the private room.
When Gu Erli and Ye Wenxi met officially for the first time, they sat face to face, and immediately sparks flew between them.
Ye Wenxi: "I've heard for a long time that Jingchun has a brother. Seeing him today, he is indeed a very heroic man. I just don't know why General Gu is so concerned about Jingchun when Gu Weiang and Chu Qianlan avoided him at first?"
“Bang!”
Gu Erli placed the sword in his hand on the table.
"They are them, and I am me! I have already dealt with them myself. As for my sister, I will do my best to compensate her. It's just that you, Lord Ye, seem to be a little too attentive to her."
"Unfortunately, Jingchun is my sister now."
Gu Erli had just returned to Tiandu and had no idea about the recognition of relatives. After a pause, he raised his eyebrows, his face full of displeasure.
"Why are you her adopted brother?"
Ye Wenxi: "Just because I have been with Jingchun all these years and helped Jingchun through the lowest point."
Gu Erli: ...
I'm very angry, but what can I do if I can't say it?
It seems like a fight!
While arrows and crossbows were being drawn on this side, the banquet had already begun on the other side.
Gu Jingchun nodded, and one exquisite and delicious dish after another was served.
These dishes were not only novel but also tasted extremely good. The ladies all enjoyed them very much.
One of them took a few bites and said in surprise, "Isn't this a new dish from Wanxianglou?"
“Because the method is extremely complicated, only three plates can be made a day, so the nobles of Tiandu are highly respected.
Because of this, a few young masters even got into a fight!"
"I heard that the government was alarmed at the time, and some people used their power to force Wanxianglou to make an extra dish!
This shows how powerful the background of Wanxianglou is."
“I never thought that I could have such expensive food at this banquet.
I guess Miss Gu invited the chef from Wanxiang Tower here."
Gu Jingchun nodded without comment.
"Girls, just eat as much as you like."
These words confirmed this speculation and immediately caused a burst of exclamations.
I thought, it’s different now that I’m about to become the queen, I can actually invite the owner of Wanxianglou.
What everyone doesn’t know is that the Wanxiang Building is now Gu Jingchun’s property.
These expensive and hard-to-get dishes and methods were also designed by Gu Jingchun.
It is just to create momentum for Wanxianglou.
It seems that the effect is quite good!
Everyone was eating with greater enthusiasm when suddenly a loud shout came from outside.
"The Emperor has arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Everyone was startled and quickly stood up and saluted Chen Hechuan and Gu Jinxi.
Gu Jingchun also stood up and saluted Chen Hechuan. Then Gu Jinxi ran over and threw herself into Gu Jingchun's arms.
"Happy birthday, mother. Daddy and I have prepared gifts for you."
As he spoke, numerous guards filed in behind Shen Hechuan.
In their hands, they all held a tray, each of which was filled with priceless gifts.
It's sparkling and very eye-catching.
And that’s not enough.
Shen Hechuan was also holding a large bunch of snowflakes in his hand.
The moment he handed it to Gu Jingchun, a slight sound suddenly came from the sky.
With a "bang".
Immediately afterwards, countless fireworks exploded in the sky.
Even now in the daytime, you can see the glory of the sky.
Because the fireworks at this time were not bright, but colorful, like a rainbow, leaving a colorful shadow in the blue sky and quickly disappearing.
Stunningly beautiful!
