Chapter 202: Necessity
Today's Yasukuni Mansion is also festive to welcome the arrival of the New Year, just like thousands of households. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The ladies and daughters of the Cheng family were all dressed up and dressed up to attend, and they began to work early in the morning, including Cheng Xuan, who was still dying for marriage before, and also returned to his previous heartless and carefree state.
Of course, he has always been thinking about the bad idea that Cheng Jinzhi gave him to escape marriage before.
It was only because it coincided with the Chinese New Year, in order to prevent the Cheng family from "happy events turning into funerals", he did not implement the plan, but stayed in the mansion and pretended to be, and first got this year's New Year's money from Cheng Yan.
Since Cheng Xuan agreed to marry the lord of Lingrong, Zhang's family has been smiling all day long, full of red light, and now it is the New Year, and the thought of this marriage after the year can be settled, not only can Cheng Xuan, who has always been considered unsuccessful, raise his eyebrows, but also take the opportunity to hit the Liu family who wants to take advantage of Cheng Yu's ulterior motives, and she has naturally become the person in the most comfortable mood in the entire Cheng Mansion.
However, for Cheng Yan, there is nothing particularly happy about.
Although he accepted Emperor Zhou's marriage to Cheng Xuan, the lord of Lingrong County, he was actually resentful of the prince's abandonment of the car that day.
But at this time, Gu Hanqing was exonerated and released by Cen Feng, and the silver robbery case of the disaster relief officer and the arson case of the prison of the Criminal Department at the beginning of the year made new waves, and the spearhead was directed at the prince, even if he was not to help the prince, but in order to clear his suspicions, he had to get along with the countermeasures that could be retreated.
It's just that what he didn't know was that Gu Chen, who was being detained in the Soul Slaughter Prison at the moment, was the most powerful witness in this case, but he didn't know from beginning to end that he was also involved in it back then, and planned this matter for the prince behind his back.
And unlike in the past, on this Chinese New Year's Eve, Gu Hanqing, who was personally framed and imprisoned, as the son-in-law of the Cheng family, also reluctantly came to this Cheng mansion, which had not been set foot for a long time, under Cheng Sujin's repeated pleas.
Of course, Gu Hanqing didn't want to see the Cheng family, and he never really admitted that he was the son-in-law of the Cheng family.
The reason why his attitude towards Cheng Sujin has improved is because of Cheng Sujin's dedication to the Gu family during the time he was trapped in the Tu Ling Division. Second, it is because he is a big-minded person, and he has hated it for too long, and he begins to feel tired.
But he knew very well that it could be charity, it could be pity, it could be anything, but it was definitely not love, and it could not be love.
Since being deceived into marriage by the Cheng family, a lot of things have happened in the middle, not to mention whether he has been completely relieved and forgiven, but it is indeed embarrassing to suddenly go after not being contacted and moving around for a long time.
However, in addition to being deceived into marriage, he didn't know that Cheng Yan and the prince were the same dog, and he didn't know that the reason why he was in prison was because of Cheng Yan.
Gao Heng never mentioned it to him, and he didn't want him to know the truth, which made matters worse.
Otherwise, let alone going to the banquet, he would have already taken a leave of absence from Cheng Sujin and left the house.
Gu Hanqing didn't have any relatives in the capital, and on a day like today, he just wanted to have a meal at home with his third uncle who came all the way from Quanzhou.
But in order not to let the third uncle and those elders in Quanzhou know about the incommencible gap between him and the Cheng family, so he was worried, so he could only go.
As soon as he entered the door, before Cheng Yan returned to the house, the Zhang family hurriedly came out to greet him, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, making him suddenly think that it was still the cordial and happy time before.
It's just that after shouting "godmother" very bluntly, he knew that there were some things that he really couldn't go back to.
The Zhang family has always been the best at pretending in front of people, after all, her daughter has married into the Gu family, and for the sake of her daughter's lifelong happiness, she has to lower her eyebrows and bow her head, making a gesture of guilt and self-blame.
What's more, Gu Hanqing still has enough value for the entire Cheng family.
"Hanqing, are you still blaming your godmother for lying to you in the first place? So you haven't come here for a quick meal for a year to see me and your godfather. ”
After saying the polite words they had just met, Zhang immediately lowered his posture and blamed himself towards Gu Hanqing, almost wiping tears from his eyes.
"It's all over, don't mention it again. ”
Gu Hanqing said indifferently, seeing that there were other Cheng Mansion people standing beside him, he had to barely hook up a comforting smile at the corner of his mouth, which was regarded as giving her some face, and then he didn't say anything more, and silently followed everyone to the mansion.
And Cheng Sujin, who was beside him, saw that Gu Hanqing was somewhat worried about Zhang's feelings, so he hesitated for a moment, and then carefully put his hand on Gu Hanqing's arm.
She was actually very worried that Gu Hanqing would shake off her hand in front of everyone, but fortunately he only frowned and did not embarrass himself in person.
This is the first time Cheng Sujin has led her husband back to her parents' house after getting married.
Originally, the woman had to go back to her parents' house to save her relatives three days after marriage to show that her marriage was happy, even if Cheng Jinzhi made the Cheng family crazy, but in the eyes of outsiders, she and Gao Heng are an enviable loving couple.
But at that time, Gu Hanqing left her on the second day of the wedding and set off for Quanzhou, and Cheng Sujin could only go back to her parents' house alone.
Because of this, she has been talked about behind the back by those subordinates of the Cheng family since then, guessing that she was snubbed by Gu Hanqing, and she was a nominal young master's wife in the Gu family.
It was not easy to come back with Gu Hanqing today, so she naturally wanted to take this opportunity to raise her eyebrows and exhale again.
It's just that she didn't know that Gu Hanqing was willing to come this time, not for herself at all.
After welcoming Gu Hanqing into the main hall of the reception, Zhang repeatedly beckoned his subordinates to bring the freshly cooked eight-treasure bird's nest porridge in the dining room, and the enthusiasm and flattery were overflowing, and Liu and Cheng Xiuning, who were sitting in the hall, glanced at each other strangely, with a contemptuous look on their faces.
"Oh, isn't this Hanqing? It's been a long time. ”
As soon as Liu raised his eyebrows, he stood up with a smile and walked towards Gu Hanqing.
"If you don't come again today, I'll forget that our Jin'er has already married a wife. ”
"Erniang, you are not seventy or eighty years old, how can this memory be so bad? No wonder the second sister is not married yet, have you forgotten her eldest age?"
Cheng Sujin's sarcastic words immediately made Liu's smile freeze at the corner of his mouth, and the originally harmonious atmosphere became a little nervous for a while.
The Cheng family's annual gift collection has always been the responsibility of the Zhang family. She was in a good mood today, and when she saw that Gu Hanqing was present, she pulled Cheng Sujin out on the grounds of choosing a return gift for the Gu family, so as not to spoil the atmosphere by going toe-for-tat with the Liu family.
It's just that as soon as he stepped out of the main hall, he saw Cheng Sujin vigilantly glance at Gu Hanqing, who was sitting in the hall drinking tea, and a sinister smile appeared on his face as if he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
"Mother, when it comes to gifts, I can prepare a generous gift for Yanwangfu this year according to Hanqing's meaning. It's just a little bit of a move. ”
