Jiang Zhiyue hurt her body, and the more Jiang Ningniang pitied her niece, the more dissatisfied she was with Lin Qiantan. But what happened back then was indeed what she did wrong.

She cheated after marriage, and she couldn't help it with her first love, and the two of them were on fire. If this matter was covered tightly, it was discovered by her husband.

So many times, she is in front of her husband, and she has no confidence because of this. Especially after she transformed that guilt into feelings for her husband.

When Lin Qiantan arrived at the Chu family, it was inevitable that she would meet her. She also knew that her aunt didn't want to see her, and she didn't stay long, so she left after a short time and went to Chu Jiang.

Jiang Ningniang looked at the back of her walking out, and then looked at the niece beside her, her eyes rolled around, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

That Lin Qiantan had already gone all the way to Chu Jiang. Although the two are now an unmarried couple, because they have cousins in front of them, there is no obstacle to meeting in private.

When Chu Jiang saw her coming, he was naturally happy: "I've been busy with business recently, but I've neglected you." Look, what am I drawing? ”

Lin Qiantan leaned over her head to take a look, and the person on the portrait was painted with her.

Her face was slightly red.

She came over without saying hello in advance, but looking at the paper on the table, there were old and new colors, and it was clear that she had been drawing for a few days.

The painting is brilliant, and it is very rare to have such proficiency at Chu Jiang's age, but the most important thing is the mind.

Chu Jiang became famous at a young age and was the object of admiration of girls in Beijing. is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, such a person, but he likes her.

Lin Qiantan had already passed the spiritual age of the girl Cardamom, but she still couldn't help but be a little vanity touched by Chu Jiang.

The handsome young man secretly painted her at home, and he painted her vividly.

Chu Jiang escorted Princess Jinhua to the north, and after she came back, she did a few major things, which were recommended by the important ministers of the court and filled the position of the squire of the military department vacated by Yan Shao's people, so it is no wonder that she was busy.

He has a bumper harvest in career and love, it is when the spring breeze is proud, and the spring scenery outside is just right, she can see that he seems to be in a good mood.

Lin Qiantan was also happy that her cousin had the opportunity to show her talents, Chu Jiang's talent was not inferior, but it was a pity that in her previous life, she didn't have time to really spread her wings, and the Chu family was finished.

And this life.

Lin Qiantan said with a smile: "I heard that you appreciate your cousin Gu very much, and he has to talk about your article whenever he meets someone."

Chu Jiang smiled softly: "It's just a promotion of the division commander." If I really want to talk about it, I thought I was inferior to Gu Sangongzi. ”

He asked himself that after all, he was a person who had a lot of things to do, and he was by no means as strong as the third son of the Gu family who was dedicated to learning.

Gu Xiaowei?

Lin Qiantan thought of this name, and couldn't remember his face for a while.

However, the eldest lady of the Gu family often meets with her, and Lin Qiantan has heard a lot about the Gu family.

Gu Xiaowei is the half-brother of Gu Qingxuan, the eldest lady of the Gu family.

Listening to Chu Jiang, Gu Sanlang is addicted to reading and has a sluggish temperament, otherwise he wouldn't have dragged the boss by an age and stayed in the boudoir like Chu Jiang. He was too low-key, and Lin Qiantan also thought about it for a while.

"In two days, the Gu family will meet friends with Wen, and on the grounds of playing in the ring with the Chu family's lotus appreciation, the Wei family's chrysanthemum, and the Yin family's plum blossom appreciation, my cousin should be able to see him."

*

The Gu family Wencui banquet that Lin Qiantan said was exactly two days later.

The sky is sunny and warm, the temperature is rising, and the peach blossom forest of the Gu family is not inferior to the plum blossom forest of the Yin family.

Lin Qiantan appeared there, not necessarily just to play in other people's homes, but also to get close to or even win over Gu Ping.

Sooner or later, the Great Shang Dynasty would collapse. Although Lin Qiantan couldn't remember which general she was who led the troops to the foot of the capital in her previous life, it did not prevent her from making friends with Gu Ping, who was already in the "rebel" army at that time, in advance.

At that time, Emperor Tianlong in the middle of the court had been hollowed out of power by Yin Ren, and among the documents issued by Yin Ren to fight for thieves, one of them was to reprimand Gu Ping for joining forces with the chaotic party and disrupting the dynasty.

What Lin Qiantan thought about was also through his vine to find out who the person who almost broke through the capital to change the dynasty.

At this time, Gu Ping was also wholeheartedly an official of the Great Shang Dynasty, and the first couplet plaque on the eaves that the guests saw as soon as they entered the door was written and presented to the ministers by Emperor Tianlong himself.

Lin Qiantan knew that Gu Ping could be regarded as a person with the temperament of a literati, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was like a city, but in fact, no one really got into his eyes. He is feasting today for three purposes.

One of them is naturally the literal meaning, to meet friends with words, and to appreciate the peach blossoms.

The second is to choose a granddaughter-in-law and grandson-in-law for the grandchildren to see each other's relatives.

Third, there is also to see for himself whether there is a suitable protégé and accept him as a closed disciple.

Gu Ping is not young, and he has already had the idea of retiring, he accepted disciples, and everyone came to hear about it.

Of course, the Lin family will be no exception.

Among the children of the Lin family, only Lin Zirong and Lin Ziye followed Lin Yangde to the scene. The female dependents were led by Shen Ning and appeared.

But the Lin family has been in the storm of public opinion recently, so even Shen Ning, who has always been high-profile, can not run into people, and will not run into people, which is very different from her previous courtesan-like appearance.

Yin Wei didn't come at all.

Gu Ping and Yin Ren are two prime ministers, one right and one left, their political views are different, and they are divided into clans, and after returning from Emperor Tianlong's northern expedition, the contradiction between the two is even more prominent.

Originally, there was a Yan Shao as the common political enemy of these two people, but now, Yan Shao suddenly withdrew, and the contradictions that had not been seen in the past were also highlighted.

As far as the eye can see, there are many people in the field who are poorly dressed. The cold door is rising.

Lin Qiantan thought to herself: Gu Ping himself was born among the low-level civilians. Emperor Tianlong also has such a meaning, and wantonly promotes talents from the Hanmen Shu clan. In the past, there was a gap between the left and right prime ministers, but recently the power has been declining and the other is growing, and some of them have been balanced.

The guests themselves talked on the edge of the forest, and the host's family came from time to time. Each had a man and a woman following behind Gu Ping, the little girl was Gu Qingxuan that Lin Qiantan had seen, and the young man should be Gu Xiaowei, the third son who had not seen much before.

Gu Qingxuan and Lin Qiantan already know each other, and they can talk together when they meet. Gu Sangongzi went with his grandfather to socialize with the male guests. The Gu family brothers and sisters have only one widowed mother, and they did not come out today.

The peach blossom forest is full of hanging baskets on the trees, and in the hanging baskets are all kinds of poems and articles related to peach blossoms prepared by the Gu family. The guests wandered around freely, picked the question at will, answered it, and took it there, and their own subordinates helped check the answer.

Speaking of which, Gu Qingxuan was introduced to Zhang Yan.

"Zheng Guogong's Mansion is now a man with his tail between his legs, and Sister Yan really can't come." Gu Qingxuan was very regretful.

Lin Qian Tan was very clear. Zheng Guogong originally thought that Yan Shao and Emperor Tianlong had a lot of competition, so he took a gamble and wanted to fight for a dragon's merit.

Who knew that his luck was not good, as soon as the bets were placed there, and before he even started gambling, some yamen officials rushed into the gambling house to arrest the illegal gambling.

Lin Qiantan smiled and said: "I think she is very happy, she doesn't have to go out, she only reads the books of sages, the geography and landforms of our Great Shang Dynasty are in her chest, and she still dislikes not studying deep enough."

Zhang Yan also smiled: "Who said it wasn't?"

In the early years, Zhang Yan also heard that the imperial court had recruited a large number of female officials, and she was very happy. As a result, when those female officials entered the palace, they actually only helped to do some trivial work. There is no queen in the palace, although there is Concubine Xiao in charge, but many things, if the name is not right, the words are not good, and if the words are not good, the government decree is not good. This is why some female officials are needed, taking care of the front and harem, which is like miscellaneous.

Chu Pei, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, is one of them.

Of course, Zhang Yan also ran for election with the idea that there is always a chance than no chance at all. But none of the suggestions she submitted were adopted.

"Later, I will also participate in the selection of female officers." Lin Qiantan said.

Gu Qingxuan glanced at her grandfather over there and said enviously: "I want to go too, but grandpa said that I haven't arrived yet, so I won't be embarrassed."

*

Gu Ping chose a daughter-in-law for his only grandson, so he naturally had to be carefully selected, carefully and carefully.

Like Lin Bixiang, who was born in the right family and is now riddled with scandals, he should have considered it or not.

But who called Yin Wei has connections and means, and can also hand Lin Bixiang's name to Gu Ping?

Gu Qingxuan and Lin Qiantan were talking and talking, and when they mentioned this matter, Lin Qiantan laughed after hearing it.

Yin Wei is confident, and that set of rhetoric really moved the Gu family.

“…… It is said that rumors stop at the wise, and I believe that Gu Xiang is not a person who follows the crowd, and the eighth lady of the Lin family was also framed by others, so she fell into such a reputation. That's what the lobbyists say. Gu Qingxuan imitated the speaker's demeanor and tone vividly.

Yin Wei's surname is Yin, and Lin Bixiang is not surnamed Yin, and counting such a set of rhetoric that literati are always easy to be fooled, Gu Ping also had a hint of the idea of taking a look.

Gu Qingxuan talked about this trembling branch and asked Lin Qiantan what to say. What else can Lin Qiantan say? Naturally, it was yellowed.

Others don't know, can Lin Qiantan still know?

The eighth lady of her Lin family is not only with others, but also has other people's children in her belly. If this Gu family Saburo marries her, then he really doesn't even need a cave room, and he will be a father directly.

However, it is impossible for Lin Qiantan to directly say that she is the "malicious framed person" mentioned in the words released by Yin Wei.

Since you can't, let's talk around.

The child in Lin Bixiang's belly has been around for about two months, Lin Qiantan calculates the days, thinking that as soon as that matter comes out, Lin Bixiang doesn't have to settle any family affairs, so she smiled and said: "You don't like my eighth sister to be your sister-in-law, and she herself may not be happy." She has a heart, but she is helpless about her parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker. ”

Gu Qingxuan didn't look down on Lin Bixiang originally, she always felt that she was like those Yin family members, she was not right-minded, and she always liked to use some intrigues and tricks in doing things.

Hearing Lin Qiantan say that she belonged to her heart, and no matter who that belonged to, she immediately laughed.
