Qin Niang saw Zheng Yanxi's thoughts at a glance, and immediately coughed dryly twice, pulling her consciousness back: "Second cousin, it's too rude for you to stare at your cousin's man like this, is that how your aunt taught you on weekdays?" ”

Zheng Yanxi's face froze, and then she blushed and twisted her face to the side.

Qiu Tao covered her mouth and snickered, her young lady really held a grudge, and she pointed at her outside the mansion and scolded Qiu Xue for having no way to rule Mrs. Qiu, and it was only a long time before she returned it to her as it was.

"It turns out that this is Lord Zheng's daughter." Gu Chen picked the corner of her lips, and the tail note behind it was really a little meaningful, but for some reason, Zheng Yanxi heard a little disdain from that short greeting, and suddenly her face turned even redder, and she was annoyed that she was fascinated by lust just now, and now she was stared at by so many people, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Yes, this is my second cousin." Qin Niang specially bit the words "only famous", but anyone present could hear a little mockery from it.

Zheng Yanxi has always liked to compare with Qin Niang, Qin Niang's embroidery is famous among the daughters of the family, and she is even more proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is not convinced, and Zheng Zhusi invited several gentlemen to teach her in the house, and she has to cross her.

In order to fight for fame, when she participated in the annual flower festival in the capital for the first time at the age of thirteen, she stole her painting and performed a poem on the spot.

Since that day, she has not stepped out of the mansion for at least half a year, and has been practicing poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting in the mansion all day long, with a momentum of forcing herself to become a real talented woman.

When she floated in the family circle again, she had learned to be low-key and cautious, but Qin Niang knew that she had always hated her in her heart for that matter, she thought that Qin Niang had dug a pit for her and deliberately lured her to steal her paintings, which resulted in her losing so many people, two people who were already in a bad relationship, and it became even worse.

Qin Niang didn't care, because she knew that a hated person would be hated no matter what she did.

Hearing her mention the word "talent", Zheng Yanxi was already angry, but in front of Gu Chen, she was not easy to turn her face, so she took a few deep breaths, eased her mind, looked at Gu Chen, and squeezed out a dignified smile and called sweetly: "Good cousin-in-law, it is rumored that my cousin-in-law is better than a woman, when I see it today, it really lives up to its name, I don't think my cousin-in-law's temperament is not like a businessman, if my cousin-in-law is willing to be an official, I think he must have a bright future." ”

No man likes to hear others praise him for being better looking than a woman, Gu Chen is no exception, I saw that his face, which was already not smiling, turned a little darker when he heard the words, he glanced at Zheng Yanxi lightly, pulled the corners of his lips and said, "Oh? Do you want to be an official? Why don't Miss Zheng go home and talk to Master Zheng, and let him take Ben Shao into the Ministry of Rites? I don't know if Ling Zun's six-grade master can cover Ben Shao. ”

Zheng Yanxi's face changed, the disguised smiling face could no longer hold back, she turned her head angrily and glared at Qin Niang, snorted coldly, and left with a handkerchief.

She hated this good-looking man in her heart who refused to forgive people with his mouth and had no demeanor at all, and even scolded Lian Qinniang together, Shang Jia is Shang Jia, he really has no cultivation, and he will lose face as soon as he speaks, don't think that she hasn't heard of it, the other party is sarcastic and looks down on her father as a six-grade official.

It seems that her good cousin is only worthy of marrying a man like this, what's the use of being good-looking, just like him, he can't be killed when he enters the officialdom.

Zheng Yanxi lost people, all the way out of the gate of the Yang family, and got into her own carriage, she first hated her unscrupulous eldest sister, and then hated the entire Yang family, feeling that her mother and the Yang family are also sisters, and her sisters are all married, but she never refuses to take care of her sister, otherwise, why would her father still be a six-grade master.

Every time someone takes it out and says it, she hates them very much, but when she thinks that when she takes down Yang Hong, the mistress of the Yang family will be her, and the affairs of the Yang family can only be decided by her sooner or later.

……

As soon as Zheng Yanxi left, the whole hall was quiet, and Mother Yang was also relieved, she was really afraid that her nephew who didn't know how to make a fuss would even be embarrassed when the time came.

I don't know how her sister teaches her children on weekdays, she doesn't have half a point, and she will do some things in the nest.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, grandmother, and son-in-law have been delayed for some time, and I ask the three elders not to be surprised." Gu Chen said, and made a deep bow towards the three people on the top, with a very sincere face.

The Yang family couldn't say anything when they saw this, looking at today's row, it also gave them enough face for the Yang family, and now Gu Chenren is also here, whether it is sincere or superficial, in short, he has done it, and they can't accuse him of anything.

After a few people chatted for a while, Yang's mother asked people to prepare for lunch, Yang Hong was sent to the city by Yang Yuan overseas two days ago, so he was not in the house, then Zheng Yanxi came to Yang's mansion, and Yang Hong was a little disappointed, but her main purpose was to see Qin Niang's jokes, but she was ridiculed instead of seeing the jokes, and she was so angry that she left without even eating breakfast.

No one in the Yang Mansion kept her, so she sat in the carriage and was indignant on the way back to the house.

After the afternoon, Mrs. Yang took Qin Niang back to her courtyard and talked for a while, and told her a few words about the true meaning of the inner house, in case Gu Chen wants to take a concubine in the future, she must also let her keep her duty, so as not to let people drill the leak.

Although the men of the Yang family do not have the practice of taking concubines, and there are few fights in the Yang Mansion, it does not mean that she does not understand at all, although Mrs. Yang married into the Yang family Although she was blessed in her previous life, there are no three wives and four concubines to compete with her for favor, but her father is not a man who only guards one wife all his life.

Even Mother Yang is not the kind of woman with a blank slate, when she was in her mother's house, her father also accepted a concubine, and there were younger brothers and sisters in the family.

A few women were talking privately in Mrs. Yang's courtyard, Gu Chen naturally went to the study with Yang Yuanhai to discuss business, about promotion, Yang Yuanhai has not reported his thoughts for so many years, but after Gu Chen's activities, he instantly ignited his ambition to serve the country when he was young.

At this moment, a chessboard is set up, and two men are playing against each other.

Yang Yuanhai held the white son in his hand and fell: "I'm very curious, those old guys in Qin Tianjian can't get in oil and salt, what means did you use to make the three of them want to recommend me to the position?" Yang Yuanhai has never been able to figure this out.

There are six ministries and three provinces in the DPRK and China, almost everyone has a line, and the division of forces between the DPRK and China is very obvious, but only Qin Tianjian does not rely on either side, only listens to the emperor alone, and others want to have a drink with them, and those few people will not appreciate their faces.

They actually ate Gu Chen's set.

Gu Chen rubbed the sunspot in his hand, smiled faintly, but his eyes were staring at the chess game on the chessboard, and after a while, he also fell behind, directly blocking Yang Yuanhai's way: "Father-in-law only needs to know that everyone has weaknesses, as long as they find their weaknesses and then do what they like, there is nothing that cannot be done, Qin Tianjian is not an iron cage, as long as there are people, there is a chance to break them." ”

Yang Yuanhai's pupils shrank, as if he was seeing through his chess style, he always felt that this young man seemed to be not very old, but his mind was deep and tight, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Have you always been so calculating? Then if you are so calculating like this one day, I, Yang Yuanhai, will die with you even if I fight for this old life. With that, he fell again, and once again forced Gu Chen into a corner.

Gu Chen glanced at the chess game, raised his eyes and looked at Yang Yuanhai seriously: "Father-in-law doesn't need to worry about this, if I want to calculate Qin'er, I just want to get her heart, besides, what is she worth my calculation?" ”

Yang Yuanhai was stunned by what he said, and it seemed that there was some truth, a woman, what else could she have besides that heart?

His Yang family is now tied to the Gu family, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, even if Gu Chen doesn't like Qin Niang, but offending the entire Yang family doesn't seem to be good for him.

After thinking about this, Yang Yuanhai's old father's heart that he mentioned was immediately half loosened, and when he looked down at the chess again, he saw that Gu Chen had no way to retreat, he threw the sunspot in his hand into the chess box, and said in his mouth: "Father-in-law really makes a move to play chess, and the son-in-law is willing to bow down." ”

Yang Yuanhai snorted: "Don't pat yourself on the back, you just now obviously have a way to go, and you deliberately lost to me, don't think I didn't see it." ”

was conceded by a junior, Yang Yuanhai was a little unbearable on his face, but he seemed to be able to understand the other party's thoughts, because he really regarded her as his father-in-law, so he would not win him, and he would not dare to win him.

If he has such thoughts, then it should be good for Qin Niang, right?

Yang Yuanhai sighed, he always felt that Gu Chen was too complicated and incomprehensible, and people were a little uneasy about the people and things they couldn't see through.

"Father-in-law, I know what you're worried about, but I can guarantee with my life, I have no second heart for Qin'er." Gu Chen said something as if unintentionally while collecting the chess pieces.

Yang Yuanhai's heart moved, thoughtful.
