Chapter 38 Conquered Easily
Gu Nanyan did not understand the relationship between men and women. She was busy with government affairs in Daqi and had no time to care about it. Moreover, her marriage was not only her own private matter, but also a public matter concerning the country.
Various forces had their own ulterior motives. Some wanted to take advantage of the princess's descent to lure her to a fiefdom, away from the center of power.
Others wanted to intervene in power by taking advantage of the status of the princess's husband.
Some even wanted to use this matter to alienate her from her brother.
In order to combat these calculations, Gu Nanyan announced that she would never marry before her brother got married and took power.
This delay lasted until she was 28 years old, and she died without getting married.
In fact, Gu Nanyan had long been prepared not to marry. Daqi men got engaged early, and excellent men were engaged as early as 17 or 18 years old.
Those who don't get married, drag it out, and wait for her, all have bad intentions, Gu Nanyan looks down on them.
She thought she would never get married in this life, but she didn't expect to have this opportunity to be reborn in the modern era. People here generally get married late, for example, Zhan Lingfeng, if he were in Daqi, his children would be old enough to make soy sauce, but here, he is still not married.
Gu Nanyan is very cautious about her other half. Although she hasn't met him during this period, she has looked up a lot of information about Zhan Lingfeng and has a general understanding of his situation.
Gu Nanyan is quite satisfied with Zhan Lingfeng.
You can try to train him, and if he is really not to your liking, you can change him. It's
just the love between men and women. Although Gu Nanyan has not experienced it personally, it should not be difficult. Gu Nanyan had seen her father and mother get along with each other many times, so her requirements were not high. As long as Zhan Lingfeng could reach half of her mother's level, it would be fine.
The few house rules that were set were also very simple, and there was no difficulty for Zhan Lingfeng.
This was just what Gu Nanyan thought was not difficult, but everyone else in the house was stunned.
What did they hear?
The wife was actually setting rules for the master?
Everyone took a breath of cold air. Although the master looked gentle, he was actually the coldest, as if he kept people at a distance. The master had a very strong sense of autonomy. From childhood to adulthood, he had always made his own decisions. Even the old lady rarely controlled him.
Now, the wife was actually going to set house rules for the master!
The servants all held their breath and lowered their heads, not daring to look around.
Zhan Yiran and Zhan's mother were also a little panicked, not knowing what to say. As for Hua Ying'an , she would not say a word.
As an outsider, she had no right to interfere in the affairs between a couple.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
Zhan Lingfeng glanced at Gu Nanyan and thought she was very brave to set rules for him. He could not help but sneer and was about to speak. Gu Nanyan's unhappy voice came to his ears: "I don't like you laughing like this, don't laugh like this in the future." Zhan Lingfeng: "..." Now she even controls how he laughs, she is quite bold. Gu Nanyan is very reasonable. This is not ancient times, and she is not the eldest princess of Zhenguo, and she does not want to use her power to suppress others. Moreover, they are husband and wife, and they should respect each other. In the past, during the reign of the Great Qi, my father was the supreme ruler, but he never acted like an emperor in front of my mother. Instead, he treated her like a normal couple, respecting and loving her. My father and mother were Gu Nanyan's role models, so she would also love her husband. Although this husband seemed a little unruly. Gu Nanyan calmed down and decided to teach this not-so-docile husband a lesson: "Do you know why I don't like you smiling like that?" "Why?" "Because you don't respect me! If you are not satisfied with the family rules, you can bring them up. Did I say that they are overlord clauses and no one is allowed to refuse? Did I say that they cannot be discussed? If you are dissatisfied, just say it! What does it mean to look down on others and make sarcastic remarks? Do you have to make a few clicks of the tongue to show your domineering demeanor?" The questions asked one after another directly confused Zhan Lingfeng. He recalled his mood just now, and after careful experience, he did look down on the other party. "Sorry." Zhan Lingfeng corrected his mistakes, but everyone present was stunned. Oh my God, the husband actually apologized to his wife! Hua Ying'an also looked at Zhan Lingfeng in disbelief. She had known Zhan Lingfeng for 20 years, and every confrontation ended with her defeat. Zhan Lingfeng had a bad temper and was cruel and brutal. As long as he was provoked, no matter who it was, he would never show mercy. Now, after just one encounter with Gu Nanyan, he bowed his head and admitted his mistakes. Hua Ying'an couldn't believe it. She had always thought that Zhan Lingfeng was like this and would never bow his head. But she never expected that there would really be someone who could easily subdue him and make him bow his head. Hua Ying'an lowered her head, feeling complicated in her heart. "Sit down and have your meal." As soon as Gu Nanyan opened her mouth, the solemn atmosphere suddenly relaxed. She has such a talent that every move she makes can affect everything around her, making people subconsciously obey her orders and dare not refuse. The servant was very smart and moved a chair to the side of Gu Nanyan, letting Zhan Lingfeng sit next to Gu Nanyan. Others were very conscious and made room for the two of them. Even Ruirui was taken away by Zhan's mother. After Zhan Lingfeng sat down, Gu Nanyan pushed a plate of shrimps to his side. Seeing this, Zhan Lingfeng raised his eyebrows. Is she trying to show her goodwill? This woman, after hitting someone with a stick, she gives him a sweet date. It's a good trick. Unfortunately, he doesn't buy it. Just as she was about to push the shrimps away, she heard Gu Nanyan order as a matter of course: "Peel them for me." Zhan Lingfeng: "..." It turns out that she wants him to peel the shrimps for her! "Puff!" Someone couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. Zhan Lingfeng glanced over. Everyone quickly lowered their heads, staring at their toes, not looking around, not daring to move. Zhan's mother and Zhan Yiran also pursed their lips tightly, afraid of laughing out loud.
Hahaha, too funny, they thought Gu Nanyan was going to peel the shrimps for Zhan Lingfeng, but it turned out that Zhan Lingfeng was going to peel them for her.
Judging from the eldest brother's expression, he must have thought so just now. He
was too self-indulgent, and he got slapped in the face. Serves him right
!
If Zhan Lingfeng wasn't so powerful, Zhan Yiran really wanted to laugh out loud and make fun of his eldest brother.
Zhan Lingfeng's eyes darkened, knowing that these people were waiting to laugh at him.
He didn't want to be laughed at, and wanted to overturn the dish of shrimps, but thinking of his previous behavior, it was indeed a bit inappropriate.
Gu Nanyan was seriously setting the family rules, but he sneered and laughed at her. Zhan Lingfeng couldn't help feeling guilty, and his momentum dropped when facing Gu Nanyan.
Zhan Lingfeng sighed in his heart, thinking that he would just peel the shrimps as an apology.
Thinking of this, Zhan Lingfeng wiped his hands with a wet towel and put on disposable gloves. He lowered his head and began to peel the shrimps.
Zhan Lingfeng was serious about his work and pursued perfection, and the same was true for peeling shrimps. He was meticulous and peeled them cleanly, without a trace of shrimp whiskers on the white and plump shrimp meat.
He put the peeled shrimps on Gu Nanyan's plate.
Gu Nanyan sat upright in the chair, waiting for Zhan Lingfeng to peel the shrimps naturally. She had a straight waist, a slender neck, and ten fingers as white and delicate as green onions. She seemed to be born to be served.
Gu Nanyan lowered her eyes and looked at the shrimps. She was very satisfied with Zhan Lingfeng's cooking skills. She picked up the shrimps with chopsticks and put them into her mouth.
Gu Nanyan was a princess of the royal family. She had been taught etiquette by a female official since she was a child. Her every move and every word were elegant and noble.
The way she ate was particularly beautiful. Her teeth were not exposed, and there was no chewing sound. She was elegant and natural. She finished the shrimps quickly.
Zhan Lingfeng peeled one and she ate one.
Gradually, Zhan Lingfeng looked at Gu Nanyan who was squinting her eyes and enjoying the food. He actually felt a sense of satisfaction in feeding her.
He wanted to keep feeding her like this.
