Cheng Ruikai's return attracted many relatives and friends to visit, and the Cheng family was full of distinguished guests every day. Seeing this, Cheng Chazhong sighed while resting with the guests: "This is not yet the day of Ruikai's wedding, so lively, if he gets married, I'm afraid the threshold of the Cheng family will be broken by the guests!" Although Cheng Ruikai went to the city to meet with a few military academy classmates today, and left a large number of guests for Cheng Chazhong to entertain, Cheng Chazhong felt that Cheng Ruikai really gave him a big face.

The second wife, Man Zhen, echoed: "Yes, Ruitai has already been married, and it should be Ruikai's turn next." Our Cheng family has not had a happy event for a while, and it should be lively. Why didn't the lord immediately send someone to the Lu family to discuss Ruikai's marriage?"

"Madame is right," Cheng Chazhong rarely praised the second wife Man Zhen, because in Xingtou, he looked at his mother, Mrs. Cheng, who was drinking tea comfortably, and did not raise any objections, so he said to Man Zhen: "You can help me take care of this——"

"Okay sir, I'll send someone to do it. Man Zhen hurriedly agreed. The third wife, Peng Wanru, looked at it from the side and said: "Master, don't you say hello to the second young master first?" After all, it is him who is married, not someone else'......" As he spoke, he glanced at Man Zhen who was full of spring breeze with the whites of his eyes, and took a cup of tea from the plate in the hand of Gong Mengshu, who was adding tea to Mrs. Cheng, and drank it. There are many people in the hall today, except for the eldest young master and his wife, even the fourth aunt Tai Peng Wanyue, who rarely walks in front of people, is also there. Peng Wanru handed the half-drunk teacup to Peng Wanyue, motioning for her to drink some new tea this year, Peng Wanyue hurriedly waved her hand.

Cheng Chazhong ignored the undercurrent between his wife and concubine, and said: "I have already discussed with Rui Kai, this kid's mind is more careful than mine, and he has long understood the purpose of me sending him to study at the military academy, so he probably has no opinion on this family business......

Gong Mengshu's hand in pouring tea trembled a little, she held her breath and tried her best to concentrate on pouring a full cup of tea for the old lady.

"I, Cheng Chazhong, am now a golden basin and want to be a serious businessman. But at present, the situation is chaotic, and the Japanese are eyeing each other, so finding a good backer is a top priority. If Rui Kai can get a little military position through the Lu family, then our Cheng family doesn't have to worry...... In the future, Ruitai will be in charge of the Cheng family's business, and with Ruikai in the army, the two brothers will be able to cooperate seamlessly......" Thinking of his wishful intentions, Cheng Chazhong was a little proud.

"But then Miss Lu heard that she is very arrogant, and she has stayed abroad and drunk foreign ink, can she be our Cheng family's daughter-in-law obediently?" asked Mrs. Cheng.

"No matter how much ink she has in her stomach, she has to marry a chicken and a dog and a dog. Lifelong events pay attention to the life of the parents, where can she be arrogant as a girl?" Cheng Chazhong disagreed, took a sip of tea, and said: "Besides, our family's Ruikai is still afraid that she is not worthy? Where can I find a good man like my second son?"

Peng Wanru and Man Zhen couldn't help but laugh when they heard Cheng Cha Zhongzhi's smug words, Peng Wanru said: "Yes, since the master is so anxious, then hurry up and let the second young master get married, and give birth to a big fat grandson for you when the time comes!"

"Listen to this!" Cheng Chazhong was even more happy when he was told about his heart.

Everyone was laughing, and there was the sound of cars outside, but it was Cheng Ruikai who came back. On the days at home, he temporarily took off his military uniform, casually wearing a two-button suit lined with silk lapels, black trousers and riding boots, still heroic and majestic. His hair is very short, combed back neatly, because there is no need for hair oil, so the hair looks more natural and casual, and the whole person perfectly interprets the image of a good man praised by Fang Cai's father.

Cheng Ruikai walked in all the way, and when he saw that everyone was staring at him, he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said, "What are you talking about? Is it about me?" As he spoke, his eyes quickly glanced at Gong Mengshu who was standing in the corner. Gong Mengshu lowered his head and just slowly wiped a tea cup with a clean handkerchief.

"Ruikai, are you back?" Mrs. Cheng loved this grandson the most, and hurriedly beckoned him over. Cheng Ruikai walked forward quickly, stretched out his arm and hugged Mrs. Cheng's shoulder affectionately, and said, "Grandma is looking for me?"

"If I don't look for you, I just miss you. You just came back from outside in the past two years, and you don't want to stay at home these days, what are you going out for?" said Mrs. Cheng with a smile.

"No one at home cares about me, so I go out for a walk," Cheng Ruikai replied with a smile, his eyes swept over Gong Mengshu again intentionally or unintentionally, but Gong Mengshu didn't even raise his head.

"You overlord, who in the family dares to ignore you?" Mrs. Cheng shook her head, but she didn't believe it.

Cheng Ruikai wanted to say more, but was called over by Cheng Chazhong, "Ruikai, you came back just in time, everyone is discussing your marriage with Miss Lu Jia...... You come over and give some advice......"

The smile on the corner of Cheng Ruikai's mouth was a little stiff when he heard this, and he subconsciously looked at Gong Mengshu, but saw that she finally raised her head to look at him in a hurry, and her fair face was even paler. He thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "I just came back, and I haven't caught my breath yet, so let's wait a few days to discuss this matter......

Cheng Chazhong was a little dissatisfied, and said: "Men start a family first and then start a business, you have to rest assured about this! You can rest for two days first, and after these two days, I will ask your second mother to find a day, so that you and Miss Lu will meet first, lest you people who have drunk ink always say that we adults are old-fashioned and ......stubborn."

Cheng Ruikai's attitude seemed to be respectful and listened to his father's words and did not accept the stubble, but in fact, all his thoughts were on Gong Mengshu. finally got through until his father Cheng Chazhong took Mrs. Cheng and a group of family members to the dining hall for dinner, Cheng Ruikai found an excuse to stay in the hall and wait for Gong Mengshu, who was still packing up the tea set.

But Gong Mengshu didn't say a word to him. Ever since the night he came home, she seemed to have avoided him, consciously or unconsciously, and didn't even give him a smile. Cheng Ruikai patiently waited for Gong Mengshu to finish his work anymore, and when there were only two of them left in the entire hall, he stepped forward and said to Gong Mengshu, "Why are you avoiding me?"

Gong Mengshu turned his back to Cheng Ruikai and said, "I didn't hide from you......"

"Why don't you look at me if you don't hide from me?" Cheng Ruikai asked Gong Mengshu. Gong Mengshu was helpless, so he had to turn around and face Cheng Ruikai, but he saw him take out a wooden box from his arms and was about to hand it to her, saying, "Then, I will give you a gift-" She looked at the box, immediately stepped back, and said: "I don't like grease and powder, you better give it to other young ladies......

"This is not rouge gouache, I know you don't like those vulgar things," Cheng Ruikai twisted his sword eyebrows and said: "I went to the city and ran several streets to find this treasure, you open it and take a look at it......"

Gong Mengshu had to take the box, opened the lid of the box to take a closer look, and found that it was a piece of inkstone with ice patterns and rouge halos, and there were phoenix eyes on it, so he knew that it was an unusually valuable thing without asking. She was stunned, raised her eyes and saw Cheng Ruikai waiting for her compliment, she knew that this must be him everywhere to please her, although her heart was moved, but it was still difficult to untie the knot in her heart.

She handed the box back to Cheng Ruikai and said lightly: "Thank you, but the gift is too expensive for me to accept ......."

Cheng Ruikai didn't pick up the inkstone, in fact, it was an excuse to go to the meeting classmates today, he intended to find a satisfactory gift for Gong Mengshu, he walked from morning to night, and he didn't know how many places he went, how many objects he saw, and finally found this inkstone, who knew that Gong Mengshu didn't even look at it, and the young man's eagerness was drenched in cold water, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"If you don't want to throw it away, don't give it back to me!" Cheng Ruikai's voice also cooled: "You like to write and paint and use this thing, and I'm a rough person, I can't dance and ink, and it's useless to take it-" As he spoke, he turned around and strode out of the hall, his long back was depressed and tense, and he seemed to be really angry.
