Yu Tang was also a little panicked.
If Pei Yan hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have realized that Gu Chang had never seen her before Zhaoming Temple.
Could it be that Gu Chang was reborn like her?
If this is not the case, then... there is indeed something wrong with Gu Chang!
Yu Tang nodded repeatedly and assured, "I understand. I won't talk to him alone anymore."
Pei Yan said "hmm" with great satisfaction, thinking that the little girl was like a naughty kitten, who was naughty for a while but finally returned to her former well-behaved and sensible self.
"Then I'll go talk to Brother Yin first." He warned Yu Tang, "You and Miss Xu are together. Don't be alone. The short and fat woman next to Miss Xu knows martial arts. If you are with her, there will always be someone to help you block it."
Yu Tang responded casually twice, her attention completely attracted by Pei Yan's words "knows Kung Fu". Her eyes involuntarily looked at the old woman beside Miss Xu, who she usually had no impression of.
Pei Yan watched and wondered in his heart whether he should find a woman like this for Yu Tang.
Although they only have a little more strength and know a little more kung fu than ordinary people, they can delay time at critical moments. Most importantly, most people would not expect that Yu Tang would have such a person by his side.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had to put such a person next to Yu Tang as soon as possible. He walked quickly to Yin Hao's side and saw Gu Chang still talking about the anecdotes of Yongfu Temple. He couldn't help but snorted in his heart, thinking that it was no wonder that Gu Xi was shameless. It turned out that this was the family tradition of the second branch of the Gu family. This Gu Chang was also a two-faced guy. He looked at Yu Shu Lin Feng, but in fact he was full of bad water. He stared at Miss Yu, most likely he wanted to take advantage of Miss Yu...
Pei Yan was shocked when he thought of this.
Like him, like Gu Chang, including Yin Hao, and even Zhang Shao who died suddenly, they all got married relatively late. The main reason is that their marriages must consider many factors, and there will even be a lot of calculations. Like Gu Chang, he didn't want to marry Sun Gao's daughter before, and he was afraid of other people's gossip, so he had to postpone the marriage again and again, hoping to delay it until Sun's daughter couldn't wait any longer; this time he betrayed Sun Gao, and the situation changed, so the best solution was to marry Sun Gao's daughter before the incident was exposed. In this way, the grievances between him and the Sun family became a difference in their political views, which had nothing to do with personal morality. Not only can the Sun family not blame him, but they should also be proud of such a son-in-law. As for what the Sun family thinks in their hearts, that is the Sun family's own business.
But he hooked up with the little girl!
A thought flashed through Pei Yan's mind.
But he wasn't sure.
He has always looked down upon marriages for profit, and therefore is rather confused, not as clear-headed as Tao Qing, who knows everything!
Pei Yan wants to meet Tao Qing.
But Tao Qing was busy preparing gifts to meet Wang Qibao.
Even if he went to see Tao Qing, Tao Qing probably wouldn't have time to see him.
What to do?
Pei Yan frowned.
Yin Hao was also a little annoyed.
What kind of temple is Yongfu Temple? I don't know how clearly the local chronicles of Hangzhou describe it. Is it necessary for Gu Chang to keep telling him these fabricated folk legends? It seems that it was a very wrong decision to invite Gu Chang to visit Yongfu Temple. I just don't know if I can postpone the Lingyin Temple banquet later.
He glanced behind him.
Seeing Pei Yan had a bitter face, he seemed to be very upset.
He immediately became happy and pulled Pei Yan to talk: "What's wrong with you? Do you have a toothache? Do you want to see a doctor? I heard that Yongfu Temple and Lingyin Temple are of the same lineage. Since Lingyin Temple has a medical monk, Yongfu Temple should also have a medical monk. Do you want me to accompany you later?"
Pei Yan's face became even more sullen after hearing this. He didn't say anything to Yin Hao and slowly followed Yin Hao and Gu Chang.
He noticed that Gu Chang glanced quickly behind him.
Pei Yan felt his hair stand on end.
What's behind him?
Miss Xu and Miss Yu!
Miss Xu is the apple of the Xu family's eye. Even if Gu Chang were blind, he would not be able to see Miss Xu.
Then he is looking at Miss Yu!
Pei Yan suddenly felt that Gu Chang was a mean and disgusting person.
He calmly walked between Yin Hao and Gu Chang and said to Yin Hao, "Second brother, how is the spring ploughing in Huai'an this year? I heard that something happened in Qinghe over there. Is it true?"
Yin Hao smiled helplessly and said, "Why are you everywhere? I have been keeping it a secret and not letting anyone know. How did you know?"
Pei Yan smiled slightly, but stopped.
Yin Hao wanted to hear his answer, so he naturally stopped. Gu Chang had his own selfish motives and wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Yu Tang, so he pretended not to know and continued walking forward.
In this way, when Miss Xu and Yu Tang passed Pei Yan and Yin Hao, he could turn around and talk to Yu Tang and the others.
Pei Yan looked at Gu Chang's back, his eyes turning a little colder.
He couldn't help but whispered, "Second brother, if Gu Chaoyang married the daughter of an ordinary country scholar at this time, what impact would it have on his official career?"
Yin Hao then realized that Pei Yan wanted to get rid of Gu Chang and talk to him, so he mistakenly thought that the question just now was very important, so he temporarily put aside the questioning about Qinghe, thought about it seriously, and whispered: "If he could become a third-rank official before the Sun Gao incident was exposed, and the Sun family did not have any brilliant disciples, who would offend Gu Chaoyang and investigate Sun Gao's affairs?"
That is to say, it is not completely impossible.
Pei Yan's expression became extremely cold.
Yin Hao was shocked and asked hurriedly, "What happened? Did you find out something? Or did Gu Chaoyang regret it?"
"No!" Pei Yan said, and his eyes looking at Yin Hao became a little deep.
He was silent for a while, and then whispered again: "Do you think Gu Chaoyang meets the requirements for your Yin family to recruit a son-in-law?"
Yin Hao was stunned and retorted intuitively: "We don't have a daughter of his age, and he may not be willing to take such a big risk."
The Yin family is one of the more famous families in the dynasty, and its power should not be underestimated. The advantages of being the son-in-law of the Yin family are obvious, but for Gu Chang at this time, it is not the best choice.
Once Sun Kao fell, if Gu Chang was the son-in-law of the Yin family, his choice would be more intriguing.
It will definitely have an impact on Gu Chang's reputation.
Pei Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled, but that smile seemed a little eerie to Yin Hao.
"Gu Chaoyang wants to be a third-rank official. Without the support of aristocratic family, it may not be that easy, right?" He said slowly, like a tiger sizing up its prey and thinking about where to start. "His father has offended many people because of his stepmother. The Gu family will definitely not use all their resources on him. Besides, the Gu family has been losing a lot in the past few years. The so-called four major surnames in Jiangnan are just a numerical advantage because of their large number of people!"
That's true.
For example, this time Tao An wanted to be the governor of Jiangxi Province. Not only did he need several families to recommend him, but the Tao family also had to spend a lot of money to reward them.
With Gu Chang's own ability, he would definitely not be able to do it.
Yin Hao was suddenly moved.
Gu Chang is good in every way, whether it is his appearance, ability, strategy or courage, he is first-class.
If he had the full support of the Yin family, it was entirely possible for him to become a third-rank official in ten years.
It depends on whether Gu Chaoyang will accept this move!
At this time, Yin Hao was a little worried about Pei Yan.
He asked, "What do you mean? Is there some trap waiting for me?"
Pei Yan put away his claws and said sincerely, "Second brother, I can cheat you, but I can't cheat the Yin family."
If you cheat him, it's a matter between the two of you; if you cheat the Yin family, you'll become mortal enemies.
Yin Hao stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Don't I feel that you are not doing a good deed, but rather looking at a joke?"
"No way?" Pei Yan looked at Yin Hao and felt that he still hadn't cultivated enough. He actually felt some malice from Yin Hao. It seemed that he was still too dismissive of others. He hurriedly said as if to save the situation, "Am I not afraid that Gu Chaoyang will regret it? After all, he is a child of aristocratic family. It is wrong for Sun Gao to fabricate evidence and slander others, but he is still Gu Chaoyang's mentor. Besides himself, Gu Chang still has the Gu family behind him. If he is really exposed, his life in the future will not be easy. The third-rank official is just an idea after all. What if the goal cannot be achieved? If it were me, I am afraid I would not agree so easily."
Yin Hao snorted disdainfully and said, "That's right! You are just like me, kid. You only care about your own business and don't care about other people's problems. If you encounter such a thing, no matter who your mentor is framing, as long as it's not someone close to you, don't say you are against it. It's better not to help pass the knife."
Pei Yan pretended to be angry and said, "Second Brother Yin is too mean to me. Am I such a person?"
The two of them joked around a bit, but Yin Hao began to seriously try to get Gu Chang to be the son-in-law of the Yin family.
He became a little absent-minded when talking to Pei Yan.
Pei Yan's lips twitched up barely perceptibly.
I think this thing has an 80 to 90 percent chance of success.
When he saw Gu Chang talking to Yu Tang again, his heart was as calm as the sea. He felt that he was really broad-minded and magnanimous. Not only was he not impatient, but he was also able to joke with Yin Hao and asked Yin Hao to pay ten taels of silver. He then told Yin Hao who told him about Qinghe's matter, which made Yin Hao so angry that his beard stood on end.
Gu Chang finally managed to talk to Yu Tang, and mentioned Yu Wen in a rather scheming way, saying what year Yu Wen was a scholar, what topic he took in the exam, and that when he was in school, his teacher had asked them to write essays on this topic. He also asked Yu Tang if her father was going to continue taking the imperial examinations, and if he was going to do so, it would be best for him to go to Hangzhou to find a famous teacher to give him some pointers: "This way it will be easier."
The more Yu Tang listened, the more she felt that Gu Chang was approaching her with a purpose.
Otherwise, how would he know so much about her father?
Even Pei Yan doesn't know as much as he does.
Yu Tang hugged Miss Xu's arm tightly and listened to Gu Chang with a stiff smile.
Gu Chang thought she was shy.
Miss Xu felt that Gu Chang was just flirting with a blind man.
She rolled her eyes when no one was paying attention, but she felt sympathy when she thought of her silly brother who was also so clueless in front of her sister-in-law. When Gu Chang asked Yu Tang again how many acres of land her family had, and Yu Tang looked like she didn't want to answer, she sighed and said, "Master Gu, Miss Yu usually doesn't take care of the family affairs. Instead of asking how many acres of land her family has, you might as well ask what Miss Yu likes to do."
