The guests Chen Ze invited were all well-known families in Wutong County, either rich or famous.

Watch the moon in the evening, and after rest in the afternoon, guests arrived one after another.

When Mrs. Gu led Gu Lan over, the female guests in the yard were silent for a moment, and then someone whispered.

Old Mrs. Gu pretended not to know and led Gu Lan to the front to greet the county magistrate's wife Ye.

Ye received her husband's instructions last night and was very polite to Mrs. Gu, giving her enough decent old lady, which really surprised the women. When Ye sent someone to ask Mrs. Gu to take a step late to talk, Mrs. Gu was so happy that her body, who was over 50, almost floated up.

Before, Ye praised his granddaughter several words, could he mean to marry? The eldest son of the Shen family is fifteenth, and he is in line with his granddaughter.

The Gu family is a businessman. When they were still rich and honored, it was a good marriage to be able to marry their parents. Now that the family business is in decline, the granddaughter has lived in the countryside for a few years. Apart from appearance, education and education, it is not outstanding. Being able to marry into the magistrate's family is a good thing I dream of.

"Let the old lady wait for a long time." Ye came back after sending the guest, and apologized to Mrs. Gu.

Old Mrs. Gu stood up and said kindly: "Madam, you're so polite."

Ye asked her to sit down again and said to her daughter beside her: "Hasn't Ayue seen enough of the moonlight? Take Alan to enjoy it again."

Chen Yue agreed with a smile and enthusiastically invited Gu Lan, and Gu Lan happily followed her.

Old Mrs. Gu looked at Ye curiously and sent the junior away. Should we talk about the serious business now?

Ye did not keep it a secret anymore and asked softly: "What does the old lady think of my Ayue?"

Old Mrs. Gu's heart was shocked.

Ye continued to smile as if he didn't notice her strangeness, "I heard that Brother Alan won the first case at the age of fifteen. This year, he is definitely the most talented man in our county. My master praised Brother Alan to me many times, and said that even if Brother Alan failed this time, he would definitely win next time. Let me explore the old lady before the autumn examination is released to show sincerity. If the old lady looks at Ayue, we will become a favor between Qin and Jin. If Brother Alan needs any need to go to Beijing for the exam in the future, please tell us."

He smiled enthusiastically on his face and did not agree with his husband's vision. No matter how good Gu Heng was, at most he was a juren. Whether he could pass the imperial examination in the future is a question. How could he marry his husband's classmates and old friends who were already officials? Besides, his daughter is still young, and after two or three years, he might have a better marriage candidate?

However, Ye has always listened to her husband. Chen Ze asked her to promote this marriage, so she would do her best.

If it weren't for Jiang Hanzhu, Old Lady Gu wouldn't really look down on the Shen family girl, and it would be appropriate for her granddaughter to marry her, but how could a daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate be worthy of her grandson who is the second-class talent? But compared with Jiang Hanzhu, the Shen family girl is much higher in identity.

pity……

"It is Ziyan's fortune to be valued by the elder wife," said Mrs. Gu tactfully, "It's a pity that Ziyan had a marriage with the Jiang family when she was fourteen years old..."

Ye took a breath in shock, "Why did it be so early?"

Old Mrs. Gu said a little dissatisfied: "Jiang Jizhou is Ziyan's husband. That year, Jiang Jizhou was seriously ill and was afraid that he would leave his daughter and no one to take care of him, so he wanted to entrust his daughter to Ziyan. How could Ziyan refuse due to the relationship between teachers and students?"

Ye said in surprise: "Jiang Jizhou seems to be a coach of the county school? I heard from the master mention him, but it seems that he only coughs all year round, not a bad disease..." At this point, he suddenly realized, "The Jiang family has a keen eye for Zi Yan to recognize the talent, and they have decided to have a marriage before Zi Yan shines."

Old Mrs. Gu sighed: "Ziyan is a respectful teacher, and she agreed without even seeing the girl from the Jiang family."

Ye did not listen to her complaining. After a few words, he gradually lowered his voice, "Is there no way to quit this marriage? Don't blame me, Zi Yan is too outstanding. My master and I don't want to miss such a good son-in-law. Moreover, after Zi Yan passed the imperial examination, he would go to Beijing to take the exam next year to take the food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he would have to pay for everything when he went to Beijing to handle the food, clothing, housing and transportation. My master said that as long as the marriage is completed, we will take all the expenses."

Old Mrs. Gu was shocked.

This is what she has been most worried about recently. In the past three years, she has only saved dozens of taels of silver. Jiang Jizhou is only thinking about asking them to take care of his daughter, but he has never taken the initiative to ask her to help. Let's look at the Shen family, who is still an official!

I was not satisfied with this marriage, and now I am even more determined to break the engagement.

However, in recent years, the Jiang family has taken care of the Gu family a lot. After suddenly breaking the engagement, how will people in the county discuss?

Ye kept staring at her. Seeing that Mrs. Gu was shaken, she retreated and said, "Forget it, since the marriage is determined, we can't do anything to ruin the engagement. The old lady just pretends that I haven't said this. But even if she can't be a relative, she doesn't have to be polite to us if she needs anything in the future."

Yubi called the maid who was guarding outside and asked her to invite the two girls back.

Old Mrs. Gu has lived for most of her life, so how could she not hear that all the polite words behind her are? The two families are in-laws, and the Shen family helps the son-in-law to help her daughter. The two families have nothing to do with each other. What do they care about?

"Madam, can I think about this for two days?" Mrs. Gu said quickly, "Actually, the girl in the Jiang family has bad character. If it weren't for the Jiang family's kindness that the Jiang family had taken care of us back then, we wouldn't have agreed. When I go back and discuss with the Jiang family, the two children are not suitable, and it is for everyone's good to retire."

Ye showed joy, "There is still the reason? Is there any problem with the Jiang girl?"

Mrs. Gu had an idea just now, but as soon as she said that, she immediately thought of the reason for breaking the engagement, so the more she said it, the smoother it became. "The child was not well-educated from his mother since he was a child, and both sisters were not clean. When he was a child, he always liked to be a guest at other people. Many people know about this..."

Ye frowned and agreed: "How can such a person be worthy of Ziyan? I was a little embarrassed before, but now I just hope that the old lady will retire successfully. Don't delay Ziyan's bright future because of a little favor from the past, and even destroy the Gu family's family's family tradition. That kind of person is not the candidate for the mistress."

Old Mrs. Gu nodded, "No."

The two of them talked about the same place and became reluctant to leave when they saw each other off.

When the Gu family's mule cart left, Ye returned to the room and smiled and asked her for credit, "Don't worry, Master, I've told her."

Shen Ze smiled and hugged half-old Xu Niang's wife into her arms and kissed her.

He coaxed his wife to help him first. After the Jiang and Gu families quit the marriage, he would not need his wife to help. After Jiang Hanzhu was arranged, he would coax his wife again and the wife would not be angry for too long. Then he would enjoy the blessing of the whole person.

And after Mrs. Gu returned home, she began to think secretly.

Jiang Hanzhu is beautiful and fragrant. She seems gentle and respectful, but she actually plays with her own tricks. She is so cute that she can hook up with people the most. She will be fascinated by her if she is a man, and her grandson is no exception. She secretly used her private money to buy a pearl flower for the girl in spring. When her sister discovered that she would rather make her sad than to insist on giving Jiang Hanzhu. Although Jiang Hanzhu had never worn it, the pearl flower was gone. Wasn't it just her?

Shameless prostitute and woman!

Old Mrs. Gu cursed silently because she hated her too much, and she came up with a plan in a blink of an eye.

She had to get things done before her grandson came back.

~

Hanzhu sat in the lower room, holding a book in her hand, but couldn't read it. She couldn't help but walk to the door and look out at the upper room.

My father went to the county school to teach. Except for my father who could come here to find her when he came back, he could only stay in front of the two of them as hostages. I don’t know if she was afraid. One was cold and dangerous, the other was not good at character. Thinking of her sister being with them all day long, Hanzhu felt very upset.

"Girl, someone from the Gu family is here!"

Chunliu ran over in a panic, "The old lady suddenly fell ill and said she wanted to see the girl and let the girl go there immediately!"

"Why are you sick?" Hanzhu asked anxiously, she was her future grandmother of her husband's family. When she heard the bad news, she could not remain indifferent.

Chunliu couldn't explain it clearly, so she said to Shangfang: "Just say she's sick. Uncle Zhang asked the man, Miss Xu went out, as long as she didn't disturb the person who was injured inside, and don't disclose it to outsiders."

Hanzhu was anxious and annoyed. She couldn't go out, so why did she ask him for permission?

When she thought of her sister in their hands, she could only bear it.

When he entered the house, he changed into a plain dress, and simply tied his hair into a bun, Hanzhu led Chunliu to the main courtyard with a hurry.

Cheng Yu leaned against the door of the room with his hands in his chest, and glanced at two figures turning around, and silently turned his eyes.

In the quiet fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the yard, she was wearing a long dress with a green squid and white background. She was in a hurry and had not seen her for just four days. Her face, which was slightly round before, had lost weight. Her two picturesque black eyebrows were frowning, and her watery eyes looked at the side of the room.

Cheng Yu did not avoid it, and silently warned her against her hatred and resentful eyes.

Hanzhu clenched her hands tightly and wanted to look into the wing room. She wanted to look at her sister, but he blocked half of the door.

Just as I was about to withdraw my gaze, my sister's crisp laughter suddenly came from the wing room, "You are lying, the turtle is swimming in the water, how could it fly in the sky?"

Hanzhu couldn't help but stop.

The sister's voice inside disappeared, and there was no man's voice. I don't know if it was because of the low voice or whether neither of them said anything.

I wanted to listen for a while, but I noticed that the man at the door had been following her, Hanzhu bit her lip and walked quickly.

After the figures of the master and servant disappeared, Cheng Yu closed the door of the wing room and entered the inner room.

King Ding had to keep at least seven or eight days before he could get out of the ground to walk around. At this time, he was lying obediently on the bed, and had nothing to say to Cheng Yu, and he had to pass the time by telling stories to Ningzhu. Seeing Cheng Yu come in, he touched the head of the little girl who was leaning on the side of the bed and listening carefully, and turned his head to ask Cheng Yu, "Is there anything wrong?"

Cheng Yu did not hide it, "I agree to the Gu family asks the eldest girl to come over." King Ding is not good. A romantic person should not be curious about the appearance of another girl who has been engaged. Therefore, it is not related to telling King Ding that Jiang's family has two daughters. As long as King Ding doesn't let King Ding see Jiang Hanzhu, there will be no trouble.

King Ding nodded, not caring about it.

Ningzhu stood up worriedly and asked Cheng Yu: "What are they asking my sister for?"

Cheng Yu's voice was cold: "I don't know."

Ningzhu was afraid of him, so she didn't dare to ask anymore, so she sat back to the bed, but she lost the good mood of listening to the story before.

King Ding couldn't help but glared at Cheng Yu. He was so fierce in front of the child. No wonder no girl in the capital dared to approach him.

He liked this greedy little girl very much and asked her with a smile: "Are you unhappy that your sister is going to Gu's house?"

Ningzhu nodded in a cowardly manner, "The old lady doesn't like her sister. Every time she goes by, the old lady will scold her sister."

Ding Wang was idle and talked to her, "Is your sister not good? Why did the old lady scold her?"

Ningzhu immediately defended her sister: "Hello sister, my sister is the best. My sister cooks deliciously and her clothes look good..."

"What did you ask her about this?" Cheng Yu suddenly interrupted, with a look of disgust, "It's just trivial things, and it's annoying to hear it."

He was unhappy and his voice became even colder. Ningzhu shrank for a moment and drooped his head.

King Ding was helpless and coaxed softly: "If he doesn't like to listen, let's not talk. Ningzhu will write, let me see if you have made any progress."

Ningzhu went there obediently and sat at the desk. When she saw that there was a piece of osmanthus cake on the plate, she secretly looked at Cheng Yu, thinking that it was him who ate it secretly, and suddenly she didn't want to write anymore, and ate all the remaining three pieces. If she didn't like to listen to her praise for her, she wouldn't eat the osmanthus cake made by her sister.

The little girl stared at him while eating, clearly showing anger. She saw that King Ding covered his chest and laughed so hard that the arrow hurt him faintly.

Cheng Yu was bored, so he got up and went to the outside room, swallowing uncontrollably when he went out.

For some reason, the girl's words just sounded in my ears.

She said that her sister cooked deliciously. Could it be that these pastries were from Jiang Hanzhu's hands?

What kind of character is the Gu family? He is worried that King Ding will fall in love with Jiang Hanzhu and ruin the Jiang family's An Ning, but he dislikes and scolds him?
