Chapter 32: Gambling
The drama itself is indeed wonderful, otherwise it would not have attracted many celebrities in Beijing. Lin Qiantan has seen some of them roughly, but maybe because of the change in mood, she has seen it twice, and she has tasted something different.
Chu Jiang also watched it seriously, but he would not forget to turn his head from time to time to discuss the plot of the last sentence or two of the drama with Lin Qiantan.
The lobby on the first floor erupted in applause and shouting from time to time, and as the plot of the drama deepened, the mediocre content in the early stage became more and more interesting.
Lin Qiantan almost forgot that she had met Yan Shao at the door when she came over, or because they left after the end of the drama and bumped into each other in the aisle, Lin Qiantan remembered it.
When Yan Shao came, he was enthusiastic about Chu Jiang, but there was a little more joy between his eyebrows. After Lin Qiantan finished reading him, she subconsciously looked at the Zhang family's father and daughter, and her eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.
Zheng Guogong is in his forties, but his face is old, and his face, which is usually a little serious, is clearly a look of joy at this time. As for the Miss Zhang family standing behind him, she was different from Zheng Guogong, with an obviously unhappy but forbearant look.
Lin Qiantan remained silent and didn't say much, but she left a record in her heart, thinking that when she had the opportunity later, she would ask someone to ask about the intention of the Zhang family in the Zheng Guogong Mansion.
I never thought that the opportunity was right in front of me.
The Zheng Guogong Mansion is the same as the Chu family, and it is even thinner than the Chu family. In addition to Zheng Guogong and his wife, there is also a son and a daughter at the bottom.
Moreover, the Zhang family is not a family, and it is the same as the Lin family: it was also knighted because of its dragon merit when the Great Shang founded the country.
When Zheng Guogong Zhang Luyuan and Lin Qiantan followed Yin Ren, a friend he met in the underworld once commented on him: He is so happy and loves fame and fortune.
Zhang Yan, the young lady of the Zhang family standing in front of her, is Zhang Luyuan's only daughter.
Lin Qiantan looked at Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan also happened to look over, and the two of them met in the air and gave each other a friendly smile.
Lin Qiantan has seen Zhang Yan at the Chu family's birthday banquet, the Lin family's housewarming banquet and even in her previous life, this is a person who is not good looking but has his own poetry and book temperament, although his thin figure is slightly shriveled, but it is very suitable for her to wear this butterfly flower dress when she goes out.
Lin Qiantan observed her words, but in fact, she had basically guessed that Yan Shao had probably reached some kind of agreement with Zheng Guogong in front of her, and the transaction partner of this agreement was likely to be Zhang Yan.
The people on both sides can't say a few words and have to separate, each going their own way, Yan Shao has his own place to go, go first. Lin Qiantan and Chu Jiang took advantage of the fact that they were at the lunch stall at the hour, planning to find a place to eat seriously nearby. Zheng Guogong's father and daughter are with Lin Qiantan, and they still have a way to go.
Therefore, men have their own men's topics, and Chu Jiang and Zheng Guogong are in front. Lin Qiantan walked behind with Zhang Yan.
The short journey of walking together is enough for Lin Qiantan to consciously establish a shallow friendship with Zhang Yan. Lin Qiantan spoke very skillfully, and Zhang Yan was not easy to refuse her.
In Lin Qiantan's memory, Zhang Yan in her previous life did not have anything to do with the Dongping County Palace, she married elsewhere later and had a happy marriage.
When Lin Qiantan died, she and her husband could still be heard because of the harmonious love and good name of Qinse.
Lin Qiantan used a part of her peers to get close to her, not because of any special purpose, but because of her intentional or unintentional operations since her rebirth, although Chu Ling and the Chu family avoided the fate of getting too close to Yan Shao, this fate was finally passed on to others as she expected.
God is indeed very stingy, give some from here, and take some from there. Lin Qiantan can't help but think that Zhang Yan is very likely to lose the marriage that should have been happy and smooth because of her in the next few days.
What's more, maybe the entire Zhang family will replace the original Chu family and be buried with Yan Shao.
"I heard that Sister Zhang's good things are coming!" Lin Qiantan saw that she was about to walk to the place where the car stopped, and immediately took the question she wanted to ask as naturally as possible after the first few sentences.
And Lin Qiantan asked this, naturally with a purpose.
Zhang Yan is a few months older than Lin Qiantan, and Lin Qiantan calls her "sister", which is natural.
After Lin Qiantan finished speaking, she paid attention to the changes in the expression on Zhang Yan's face in an instant.
As soon as Lin Qiantan's words fell, Zhang Yan uncontrollably showed a look of annoyance and anxiety for a moment, although she was quick to hide it - she laughed in front of Lin Qiantan almost immediately. But Lin Qiantan still caught it.
Zhang Yan thought of her fiancé, and she still couldn't help but be a little shy, but at this time, there was more bitterness about the uncertainty of the future in her smile: "Indeed, the marriage was originally scheduled to be completed in the autumn of this year, but there was a sudden joy and mourning in the other party's family, and I have to wait for the filial piety period to expire." So her father took the opportunity to break the marriage contract on this ground and married her to the king of Dongping County to be the princess of the county......
But after all, she is not familiar with Lin Qiantan, Zhang Yan naturally will not tell people who are not familiar with those things at home, and it just so happens that the two of them have not said a word, and they are about to officially say goodbye.
Lin Qiantan had already gotten the news she wanted to know.
The Chu family is a family with prestige, but it is actually a bit flashy. Although the Zhengguo Mansion has a weak foundation, it has military power and benefits.
Things in the political arena have always been big gambles. Zheng Guogong's choice of Yan Shao and abandoning the emperor Yan Guang is equivalent to betting the lives of his family on Yan Shao, a ship that is almost doomed. If Yan Shao can really succeed, Zhang Luyuan will indeed ascend to heaven and become the national ruler.
But the question is, can Yan Shao succeed?
Lin Qiantan, who knew the trajectory of history, didn't know better what the fate of the Dongping County Mansion would be in the near future—unless she intended to stand on Yan Shao's boat to help Yan Shao reverse the defeat.
But why did she do it?
She and Yan Shao are not familiar with each other.
Lin Qiantan got into the carriage, Chu Jiang smiled and asked her if she had anything to eat, she said, "Cousin just decides, I won't pick it."
Chu Jiang smiled and said, "Then I will lead the way at will, and when the time comes, I will take the wrong place, and my cousin can't complain."
Lin Qiantan smiled and said "Okay", put down the car curtains, and the smile faded a lot in an instant. She has no intention of caring whether Yan Shao is dead or alive, but she can't watch an innocent person because she is implicated in the whirlpool, and it is not enough to lose a happy marriage, and the whole family may suffer. hopes that with her meager efforts, she can make some compensation for Zhang Yan and even the Zhang family as much as possible - at least, not to make Zhang Yan's fate deviate too much.
