Chapter 115 Interested in Women
Although he didn't know why she helped him, he was polite and it was right to thank her. He bowed to the girl and said, "Thank you, young lady."
The woman bowed slightly and said, "Sir, you are so polite. I am afraid that I have hurt your friendship by saying too much. I hope you don't blame me."
Gu Kaizhi scratched his head again: "He and I don't have much friendship, and I didn't like what he said just now."
"If you don't like what I'm saying, why don't you refute it?"
"I, I don't understand what he means, and I don't know how to refute him." Gu Kaizhi was a little embarrassed, as if he was a fool.
But he did not forget to praise her: "The girl is really amazing, she made him run away with just a few words."
The woman was amused. Minister Gu was in charge of the Ministry of Rites. He was a very tactful and thoughtful person. She didn't expect his son to be so naive.
When Gu Kaizhi saw her smile, her face as rosy as a peach, delicate and bright, his face suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at her again.
"Sir, next time you hear someone talking and feel unhappy, ask him if he is jealous. Whether he is or not, you can make him bear this bad reputation."
Gu Kaizhi looked up in confusion: "So simple?"
The woman smiled mischievously: "Of course, if you do this more often, they will think you are not easy to mess with and will not dare to be sarcastic anymore."
"I didn't expect that the girl is so powerful at such a young age." Gu Kaizhi's eyes lit up. It turned out that it was so simple to make others afraid to bully him.
The woman shook her head and smiled faintly: "With more experience, you will naturally understand."
"Sir, please enjoy your meal. I will leave you alone."
"Girl, please."
The woman and the shopkeeper left, and Gu Kaizhi's eyes fell on her. Did she mean that she had also experienced many unhappy times, so she knew how to protect herself?
She must have had a very difficult life.
He waved to his attendant and said, "Go check the family background of that girl just now." If she had any difficulties, he might be able to help.
The follower's eyes widened, and then they were filled with excitement. The master was finally interested in women. That was great. "Yes, Master."
…
The year ends this evening, and firecrackers welcome the new year.
During the first Spring Festival after their marriage, Chen Shurong and Xie Yunzhao were both extremely happy, and everyone in Linfengju gave them silver as rewards.
There is no need to go to court during this period, and each household begins to visit relatives and give New Year gifts.
Chen Shurong has not officially moved into the Princess Mansion yet, but many people have gone there to give gifts.
Promote a steward from the Princess's Mansion to take charge and collect all the gift lists. The princess will set up her own household soon, so all these interpersonal relationships must be kept in mind.
Chen Shurong heard that Li Wan'er's cousin Li Mei'er had come. She and the young scholar also got married in the twelfth month, and both of them came.
It’s a pity that Xie Yunzheng doesn’t even like Li Wan’er, so how could he possibly value a little Jinshi?
I heard that the young scholar greeted Xie Yunzheng and was asked to leave.
Zishan is now close to Yinzhi and brings back some food, clothing and daily necessities for Jinzhi from time to time, so the affairs of Chaohuiyuan easily reach Yinzhi's ears.
Chen Shurong waited and watched to see if the young scholar would continue to be nice to Li Meir.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the streets were bustling at night, and Chen Shurong had already planned to go out for a walk with Xie Yunzhao.
The Duke's wife also drove Xie Yunzheng out and asked him to take Li Wan'er out to play. How could they cultivate their relationship if he was never attentive?
Two carriages went out one after the other, and soon, several horses followed behind them. Gu Kaizhi and Lu Ziqian also came to join in the fun.
The weather was cold, and when getting off the carriage, Xie Yunzhao tied the red fox cloak for Shen Shurong. The snow-white fox fur collar made her little face look even whiter.
The red lips were similar in color to the leather. Xie Yunzhao stared at them and kissed them unconsciously.
He did kiss her on the mouth, but she couldn't dodge in time and was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl under the carriage.
Xie Yunzheng narrowed his eyes. In public, does he have any sense of propriety, morality, and honor?
Just as he was about to reprimand her, he saw Shen Shurong lowering his head and smiling, a smile so bright.
Xie Yunzheng's heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles. Has Yongjia fallen in love with Xie Yunzhao?
Otherwise, why would they indulge him so much?
At this point, he can no longer find excuses to deceive himself.
Li Wan'er saw him staring at Shen Shurong, and reached out to grab his sleeve, "Husband, let's go guess lantern riddles, I want the most beautiful lantern."
How could Xie Yunzheng's mind have room for lanterns?
At this moment, he just wanted to rush over and ask Yongjia if there was still a place for him in her heart?
Jin Zhi said that she was just fulfilling her responsibilities as a wife to Xie Yunzhao and didn't like him very much.
Why did he never see any discomfort in her eyes every time they met?
Xie Yunzhao has taken good care of her and is now very intimate with her. Does she accept it so well?
"Husband?"
"I'm tired. Let's go back to the carriage and rest for a while. Let Akabane protect you."
Li Wan'er stared at his back in disbelief, her eyes finally falling on the hand he had shaken off.
What does he take her for?
Tears fell on her body one by one. She was still pregnant with his child. Why did he always treat her like this?
Can't you get a little attention?
Xiuhe supported her distressedly, "Madam, let's get in the carriage too."
"No, I want the most beautiful lanterns." Li Wan'er held back her tears and turned to walk towards the lantern stall.
Chen Shurong was going to the river to make a wish, so Qing Ying went to buy a river lantern.
Put the river lantern into the water, put your hands together and make a wish.
Gu Kaizhi and Lu Ziqian also joined in the fun.
"What do you two wish for?"
"I wish my mother wouldn't urge me to get married." Gu Kaizhi laughed.
Everyone burst out laughing, what kind of wish was this?
Lu Ziqian laughed: "You are stupid, you can't tell your wish, it won't work if you tell it."
"Ah? Then my mother will urge me again?" Gu Kaizhi frowned. He really had a headache.
Everyone was laughing, and not far away a woman wearing gold and silver was also releasing river lanterns. It was obvious that she came from an extremely wealthy family.
When Gu Kaizhi saw him, he walked over in surprise and said, "Ms. Yang, I didn't expect to see you here."
The woman was the one who spoke for him in the restaurant that day. She was also startled when she saw him, then bowed and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."
After sighing, he remembered his name again, "How... do you know my last name is Yang?"
Gu Kaizhi's face turned red in an instant. It was very rude to ask about the girl's family background.
But he just wanted to help her and repay her for protecting him.
He actually found out that her name was Yang Qian, and she was the eldest daughter of the prince of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion. Logically, she was also a lady from a wealthy and noble family, so he and Lu Ziqian should have known her.
It’s a pity that her mother is a second wife, and she comes from a merchant family and is the richest person in the Jiangnan area.
This led to many noble ladies not associating with her mother, and she had no noble ladies to be friends with. However, she had a cousin who often laughed at her, saying that she was as vulgar and materialistic as her mother.
After hearing this, he felt sorry for her, but he could not help with the conflict between the sisters in the harem.
He scratched his head awkwardly and said hesitantly: "I, I, I heard you say that you had been through a lot that day, and I was worried that you would be in trouble. You helped me, so I thought, maybe I can help you too."
