Chapter 564 Hiding (2)
After a while, a few people's faces were stained with alcohol. Their faces were slightly red, and their eyes were bright. They were a little tipsy.
The intoxication grew stronger, and the sound of the pipa became increasingly urgent, resembling a waterfall cascading rapidly downward, or the thundering gallop of a thousand horses…
"Wa! Wa…"
From an unknown direction, a thoughtful cry suddenly came into the water pavilion through the open window. It wasn't clear in the melodious pipa sound. The cry only rang twice before it stopped abruptly.
"Huh?" Lu Shi's ears twitched as he looked at Fan Beiran, Young Master Fei Liu, and the others.
Was this the cry of a baby?
Fan Beiran looked at Gu Yuan, narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a long time…
After a while, he suggested excitedly, "Ah Yuan, I heard from Jiaoniang that your sister has a cat. It's extremely beautiful. Why don't I bring my lion cat over to mate with it?"
"The kittens they give birth to must be as beautiful as fairies!"
"Get lost!" Gu Yuan spat out a word and casually kicked Fan Beiran. "My Qing Guang is still young!"
However, he wasn't kicking Fan Beiran, but the chair under Fan Beiran's butt.
The rosewood chair made a clicking sound and jumped from Gu Yuan's kick. Fan Beiran was afraid that he would fall, so he quickly jumped up and said with a smile, "I'll go pitch-pot!"
This scene made everyone present laugh.
Thump, thump. The pitch-pot sounds rose and fell.
The baby-like sound didn't sound again. These young masters just treated it as the sound of a cat or the wind. No one cared.
After playing a few rounds of pitch-pot, Lu Shi was the first to admit defeat. "I'm not playing anymore. I'm the only one drinking as a punishment!"
"If you have the guts, let's play… play…" Lu Shi racked his brains for a long time. "Play with pills!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wu Tong trot into the water pavilion and quickly walk to Gu Yuan's side. He reported, "Eldest Young Master, Fifth Young Master Yue is here…"
"Didn't Yue Jun say that he couldn't come today?" Fan Beiran interrupted Wu Tong. "Haha, then he, Yue Jun, will be the last to arrive today. He has to punish himself with three glasses… No, six glasses!"
Lu Shi and the others cheered, as they wanted to see the world in chaos.
Wu Tong revealed a strange expression and hurriedly added, "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master is also here. He said that he happened to meet Fifth Young Master Yue outside and came over to congratulate you."
The Second Young Master that Wu Tong was talking about was naturally Gu Jian's legitimate son—Gu Xiao.
If Yue Jun wasn't around today, Wu Tong would have stopped Gu Xiao, this uninvited guest.
The originally lively atmosphere in the water pavilion instantly froze. Only the hurried sound of the pipa could be heard.
All the young masters present knew that Gu Yuan's relationship with his second uncle was very tense. The separation of the family had even alarmed the Emperor. Gu Xiao probably also knew that it was difficult to enter, so he grabbed Yue Jun and simply entered.
Gu Yuan said calmly, "If he wants to come, let him come."
Wu Tong heaved a sigh of relief and left to welcome the guests.
Lu Shi cleared his throat and tried to smooth things over with a smile. "Ah Yuan, speaking of which, I haven't seen your second brother in a long time. Is that brat still crying?"
"He's not crying anymore, but he's still a little timid." Fan Beiran interrupted as he drank. "I saw him a few days ago. He slapped him in the face, but he actually endured that anger."
"Instead of enduring it, you might as well cry and make a scene!" Someone commented.
Gu Yuan didn't comment. Everyone continued to play and drink, laughing and having fun.
After a while, Yue Jun and Gu Xiao strode over under Wu Tong's lead.
Yue Jun was wearing a black five-bat mourning dress. He was tall and straight, with a relaxed expression and wide eyes.
In comparison, Gu Xiao, who was two steps behind him, was only as tall as Yue Jun's shoulder. He looked refined and thin in a shirt with a blue cloud pattern. At first glance, he was also a graceful young man.
"I'm late," Yue Jun said loudly. He was quite self-aware and began to punish himself without another word.
Gu Xiao, who was two steps behind, also walked up to Gu Yuan and cupped his hands appropriately. "Big Brother."
"I heard that Big Brother is about to be transferred to the Jinwu Guard. I specially came to congratulate you," Gu Xiao said and even sent a congratulatory gift.
