Fu Mutian ate grapes with a look of enjoyment on her face, "That's right! Although he's called the eldest young master, who doesn't know what kind of person he is?"
They were about the same age, and the capital was a place where talents gathered. However, Gu Nanyan and Shen Juanqing were comparable to the previous generation. Since Gu Nanyan married early, the two of them had retired behind the scenes. Therefore, there is a saying in the capital now: "Shen occupies three of the nine talents in the capital, Shen occupies nine of the painting talent, Shen occupies five of the acting talent. The winds and clouds in the city are unpredictable, but Shen occupies one word and no one will refuse him."
This "ink extinction" refers to Chen Juanqing.
As this story spread, and given that Gu Nanyan was generally not in the country, many people only remembered one of the two most famous young masters in the capital back then.
"Besides, everyone knows how the eldest young master was before. Has he ever been domineering in front of you?"
Although Fu Mutian didn't have much contact with Gu Nanyan, Gu Nanyan's past achievements were well-known to every young master in the capital.
Shen Beian recalled that he really couldn't remember Gu Nanyan ever being domineering in front of him, or rather, in front of the original owner of this body. He almost always went along with the original owner of this body.
Well, I'm envious.
I can't help but want to criticize the original owner. With such a good wife, why is he still acting up? Isn't he afraid of losing his wife?
No. Wait, that's not right!
Gu Nanyan would grant Shen Bei'an's every wish, except on certain matters of principle.
The simplest solution was still that Longquan ink paste. The next day, Gu Nanyan took Shen Bei'an to Suzhou and Changzhou. On a hot day, he pulled Shen Bei'an to spin lotus root.
The original owner was so angry that she lost her temper. Gu Nanyan forced Shen Bei'an to pick lotus roots and extract silk for almost a whole week, and Shen Bei'an stubbornly refused to say a word.
A week later, Gu Nanyan had a meeting elsewhere, and Shen Beian got angry. He stayed in Changzhou for a month and personally followed the more than twenty procedures to make a small piece of Longquan ink paste for Gu Nanyan.
She had gotten quite tanned, and it took Gu Nanyan a whole day to coax her before he would speak to her again.
Naturally, compensation was unavoidable, so I accompanied this ancestor to Qiongyu, the largest shopping mall in Beijing, for a whole day.
Later, Gu Nanyan placed that inkpad in the most conspicuous position on his desk in his study, but he didn't actually use it; he just left it there.
Although the original owner was a little angry, she felt that Gu Nanyan valued the gift she gave him and was quite happy.
Shen Beian felt that Gu Nanyan was clearly warning the original owner of the body.
"What's wrong?" Fu Mutian blinked. "Did she force you to do anything?!" She even used a bit of force when eating the grapes.
Sheng Jingchen also stared at Shen Bei'an without moving.
Shen Bei'an waved his hands repeatedly, "Not really, but it's normal for her to be a bit assertive, right?" She's not some noble lady from ancient times. Gu Nan'an was born the heir of the Gu family. If she were stubborn and always knew how to give in, the Gu family would have changed heirs long ago.
“Being assertive is normal, but if she's assertive in other matters in front of you, that's wrong of her,” Sheng Jingchen explained righteously.
Although Shen Bei'an is quite pretentious, he is protective of his own. Apart from having no talent in finance, he is proficient in all the traditional arts of a gentleman, such as playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
But unlike other young masters from prominent families, Shen Bei'an was truly pampered by everyone around him as he grew up.
He knows proper etiquette, yet he acts recklessly in front of his family and friends.
She can be a bit dramatic, but she knows her limits.
He only showed no restraint in front of Gu Nanyan, because he knew that Gu Nanyan would indulge him no matter what.
I really don't know what good deeds the original owner did in his past life to have such a good wife as Gu Nanyan!
I really don't know what the author was thinking, pairing such a good wife with the original owner of this body!
