Du Shi said warmly: "Although the war is tight now, we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but we also want to do some modest efforts, so we want to hold an ice hockey game, one is also to add some fun, and the other is also to win a lottery, the lottery of this ice hockey game will be used to buy winter clothes to give to the defenders, although there is not much silver, but it is also a heart." ”

The Liu family was a little surprised, but they didn't expect that a family like the Wang family would think about the soldiers at the border and send winter clothes to the soldiers, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

Old Mrs. Zhao bowed slightly: "This is a good thing, since your Wang family is taking the lead, it is also a part of our Zhao family, and you will definitely go to support it when the time comes!" ”

Du Shi hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Then thank the old lady, no wonder my aunt always said that the old lady is the most bodhisattva-hearted and compassionate." ”

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, the smile on her face became even bigger.

Compared with Du's cleverness and liveliness, Mrs. Wang seemed to be much more silent, just sitting on the side, from time to time to say in agreement, but her eyes were a little erratic, the eldest lady wanted to provoke the topic several times, and wanted her sister-in-law to say a few more words, but Mrs. Wang didn't meet too much, and the eldest lady was helpless.

Mrs. Zhao ordered someone to prepare a family banquet to entertain the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and a meal can be regarded as a happy meal, Mrs. Wang and Du will not leave today, because they also have to feast on the rest of the families in Dengzhou City, and hope that the eldest lady will accompany them out tomorrow.

After eating, Liu took Zhao Siyan back to Tingyu Garden.

"With this war, many families can't sit still, I hope that the world can change their previous prejudice against military generals, and the status of military generals can be better." Liu Shi took a sip of hot tea and said with a sigh.

Zhao Siyan pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a mocking smile, and then said: "Mother, you are too worried, the Wang family will hold an ice hockey game this time, and they will donate winter clothes to the soldiers, all to eliminate the scandal that occurred some time ago." These scholarly families have always been more famous than the sky, and the Wang family has not been able to raise their heads when something like that happened before, and now they have come up with such a way to save face for themselves through the border soldiers. ”

The Liu family couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and immediately understood that what Zhao Siyan said made sense, the Wang family had no money, and if they wanted to donate it themselves, they didn't have so much silver, so they came up with such an idea.

Liu shook his head, "This Wang family is really ......"

Zhao Siyan said: "Look at it, tomorrow the eldest aunt will take them out to meet guests, and the people who are good friends with the Zhao family will definitely give the Zhao family this face." ”

Liu didn't speak, but he believed Zhao Siyan's words in his heart.

Sure enough, the next day, the eldest lady followed her sister-in-law out of the door, and several people who were good friends with the Zhao family visited, which was a good thing, and soon got a response from many people, and they all promised that the ice hockey game would come as promised.

The ice hockey game was held on the fifth day of December, in a village outside Yonglin Town, the eldest wife was very attentive, and the Zhao family naturally had to cheer for it, and even Zhao Qingru's mother and daughter, who had been closed, also came out.

On the fourth day of December, the Zhao family was about to leave for Yonglin Town.

Liu took Zhao Siyan and Zhao Wenxi out of the door after packing up, and when they arrived at the gate, they saw Gu Chenfeng guarding the door, talking to Zhao Wenyu.

Zhao Siyan frowned instinctively, Gu Chenfeng saw them, but he walked over with Zhao Wenyu.

"Second aunt, cousin, cousin." Gu Chenfeng said hello, and his attitude was just the right amount of enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.

This enthusiasm is different from the difference between others, a little more close, so that people can see at a glance, different from polite politeness, he has a sincere intention, Liu couldn't help but glance at Zhao Siyan, seeing Zhao Siyan's calm face, he sighed secretly in his heart.

No elder would hate a junior like Gu Chenfeng, and the Liu family was not surprised, the Liu family even felt that Gu Chenfeng and Zhao Siyan were also quite a good match.

It's just a pity that Zhao Siyan didn't mean this.

"Second aunt, the carriage is ready, the stove has been put on it, the road to Yonglin Town is not close, I am afraid that the road is a little difficult to walk, you should be careful in the carriage." Gu Chenfeng said softly.

A child who is attentive and polite, no one will not like it.

Hearing this, Liu's eyes were a little soft: "It's really hard for you, the things in the army are busy enough, and it's hard to remember these trivial things for you." ”

"It's not in the way, now that the war is tight, and in extraordinary times, it's better to be careful, otherwise I won't worry." Gu Chenfeng said sincerely.

When the Liu family heard this, the smile in his eyes became even bigger, and he liked Gu Chenfeng more and more.

Because of her bad background, she was not less cold, even the subordinates in the mansion did not respect her as much as the eldest lady, but Gu Chenfeng did not, his respect and respect came from the heart, and there was no reluctance.

"Morrowind, you are still careful, with you, you have compared me, my mother saw it, she must have nagged me again, let me learn from you." Zhao Wenyu pretended to complain on the side, but there was a smile in his eyes, which showed that the relationship between the two was very good.

"The eldest aunt has always been the most understanding, but how can I blame you?" Gu Chenfeng said gently.

knows advance and retreat, understands accidents, and is such a personable young man, Liu can't wait for this to be his son, looking at him with a little pity, why doesn't her daughter like it?

"Morrowind is also going to an ice hockey game, right?" Liu asked softly.

Gu Chenfeng nodded, the reason was bright, "Since I came to the Zhao family, my eldest aunt has taken good care of me, and I should repay the favor." ”

Hearing this, the Liu family smiled and nodded, and had a better impression of Gu Chenfeng.

"Mother, it's too cold, let's get into the carriage first." Zhao Siyan said softly.

Hurry up and get in the carriage, don't give Gu Chenfeng another chance to perform! If it goes on like this, even if she doesn't want to, her mother will probably force her to marry.

Only then did Liu reluctantly retract his gaze.

Gu Chenfeng's eyes fell on Zhao Siyan's face for the first time, and his voice revealed a bit of concern: "It's a little cold today, this cloak is a little thin, I'll ask someone to send a thicker one in a while." ”

If it is a private gift, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of giving and receiving it privately, but Gu Chenfeng said it frankly, and he said it in front of everyone, so there was only concern left.

Zhao Siyan couldn't help but have a headache when he heard this.

"Thank you Gu Gongzi for your kindness, no need, the green lotus is also with me, it was because I thought that it would not be cold when I got into the carriage, so I didn't wear it." Zhao Siyan explained.

Gu Chenfeng said helplessly: "This is not good, I have prepared it for several cousins, but the third cousin rejected my kindness, but what is the dissatisfaction with me?" ”

Zhao Siyan couldn't help choking, but fortunately, Zhao Wenxi pulled Liu's sleeve at this time, "Mother, I want to get into the carriage!" ”

Liu lowered his head, "Cold, right?" Mother, I'll pick you up and get you into the carriage. ”

Without waiting for the Liu family to reach out to hug him, Gu Chenfeng had already bent down and hugged Zhao Wenxi easily, "The road is slippery, let my cousin come and hug you." ”

Zhao Wenxi had no choice but to hug his neck, but his little face was reluctant, Gu Chenfeng put him in the carriage, and actually pinched his little face.

Zhao Wenxi turned his head with a disgusted face, and snorted at him, the bad guys are all going to rob his sister!

Liu Shi frowned: "Wen Xi! Why are you so rude to your cousin? Is that what my mother taught you? ”

Mother actually taught him a lesson for this person! It's even more excessive!

Zhao Wenxi apologized sullenly, turned around and got into the carriage.

Gu Chenfeng smiled at the Liu clan good-naturedly, "It doesn't matter, Wen Xi is still young." ”

This inclusive tone made Liu even more embarrassed.

Zhao Siyan glanced at him with complicated eyes, Gu Chenfeng found out, and when he saw her, he smiled shyly like a child who had been exposed.

Zhao Siyan is really helpless now, but her heart is very heavy, Gu Chenfeng also took a fancy to her in the previous life, causing her to become the target of everyone, she tried hard to avoid such a result, so she has always stayed away from Gu Chenfeng, can't she escape such a result?

Zhao Siyan got into the carriage with a heavy heart.

The carriage moved forward smoothly and slowly, Liu Shi opened the curtain and looked out, Gu Chenfeng rode a horse beside their carriage, faintly with a sense of protection.

Liu Shi lowered the car curtain, turned his head and glanced at Zhao Siyan, who was reading, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't look at it, be careful of hurting your eyes!" Gu Gongzi was outside, guarding next to our carriage, he was really careful and considerate, he was born like this, and he was a young man, it was really not easy. ”

Zhao Siyan put down the book in his hand, raised his head and glanced at Liu, "Mother, what do you want to say?" ”

"Gu Gongzi is indeed a good child, and my mother can see that she is interested in you, and she ...... words" Liu Shi wanted to speak a little and stopped, but the meaning was already self-evident.

Zhao Siyan thought for a while, and then said, "Mother, didn't we say that you want to keep me for two more years." ”

"But how can a woman not marry? You're getting old enough to think about these things. ”

Zhao Siyan is helpless, she is only thirteen years old, how did she reach the age of being forced to marry by her mother?

Zhao Wenxi suddenly spoke: "Mother, Gu Gongzi is so good to me, do you want to rob my sister with me?" ”

Liu Shi glanced at him and coaxed him lightly: "That Wen Xi, do you like Gu Gongzi?" ”

"It's okay, I'll do better than him in the future!" Zhao Wenxi said indifferently.

Liu's expression suddenly froze, but Zhao Siyan couldn't help laughing and rubbed Zhao Wenxi's hair.

Should you not say these things in front of your son, Liu learned from the pain and decided to choose a person to talk about this matter when Zhao Wenxi was away.

The Wang family's Zhuangzi occupies a large area, and there is a large lotus pond in it, which is now frozen, and is just used as an ice hockey rink.

This time, many people came, in addition to the Zhao family, the eldest lady also invited He Qingshan's wife, and Mrs. He came with He Bingyan.

When he arrived at Zhuangzi, Zhao Siyan saw Mrs. He and He Bingyan get out of the carriage, He Bingyan saw Zhao Siyan, showed a big smile at her, and winked at her, Zhao Siyan bowed slightly, don't turn your head.

Seeing Zhao Siyan's reaction, He Bingyan's face suddenly became gloomy.

Green Lotus secretly told He Bingyan's expression to Zhao Siyan.

When Zhao Siyan heard this, she was not surprised: "Now that He Qingshan's situation in the army is not good, she naturally can't maintain her affection." ”

He Qingshan has fallen to this point today, and naturally he is drifting away from Zhao Tingshan, and he can't return to the original intimacy, and the He family naturally knows this truth, so the relationship between the two families is not as close as before, He Bingyan gave Zhao Siyan a post several times, inviting her to come over to play, but Zhao Siyan refused.

This time, the He family agreed to come over to participate in an ice hockey game, or because the He family is a family of military generals, and this kind of thing for the benefit of the soldiers, it is not good for the He family to stay out of it.

When everyone walked into the Zhuangzi, a maid led them to the courtyard where they were resting, and the house had already been burned with a hot dragon, and there was also a fine silver charcoal burned, which was very warm.

Zhao Siyan returned to the room to rest under the pretext of being tired of carriage and horses, but she was actually afraid that the Liu family would nag her again.

Liu sighed helplessly: "Look at her, she can't be smart in other things, but when it comes to her own marriage, I really can't do anything about her." ”

"Madam, don't worry, our young lady is outstanding, smart and virtuous, and now she is still young, and she is still worried about not having a good family in the future? The so-called good woman does not worry about getting married, and in the future, I am afraid that the person who comes to propose marriage will break through the threshold, and the wife is worried about not knowing which one to choose! Mama Li said with relief.

Mama Li's words are not a consolation, since Zhao Siyan repaired the painting at the birthday banquet, now she is famous, in Daqi, talented women have always been favored.

Liu sighed, that's what he said, but a man like Xiang Gu Chenfeng is a rare candidate, and it's a pity to miss it.

After eating, Gu Chenfeng came to the courtyard where the Liu family lived, and said that he came to visit, Zhao Siyan knew it, so he hid in the wing room and did not come out, Gu Chenfeng didn't care, he didn't mention it, and only accompanied the Liu family to talk.

"Siyan is true, Gu Gongzi is not an outsider, and he doesn't know how to come out to entertain guests, it's really rude." Liu couldn't help but say.

Gu Chenfeng smiled, like a spring breeze: "Second aunt, since you said that I am not an outsider, it is better to call me Chenfeng, Gu Gongzi is so angry, it makes me sad." ”

Liu Shi was stunned, and couldn't help but smile and chuckle: "Okay, Morrowind." ”

Gu Chenfeng has a humorous and witty conversation, and he is talented in his belly, plus he compliments the Liu family without a trace, which is just right, and it will not make people feel abrupt, after a conversation, the Liu family's attitude towards Gu Chenfeng is a lot closer.

Zhao Siyan was in the room, and from time to time he heard Liu's laughter outside, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart Gu Chenfeng's communication skills, which was really extraordinary.

Zhao Siyan leaned on the couch, and somehow, she fell asleep.

The next day was the ice hockey game, Zhao Siyan got up to wash, and after breakfast, he heard Liu Shi say that this time Zhao Wenyu and Gu Chenfeng actually had to go to the game, and there were several other sons, it is said that it was a temporary intention to add a color.

"We need to add more silver to Morrowind, so that he can't lose face." Liu said, and Mama Li specially brought a purse.

Zhao Siyan couldn't help but be surprised, how much ecstasy soup did this Gu Chenfeng pour into the Liu family? Look at the Liu's love for him.

Liu took Zhao Siyan and Zhao Wenxi out of the door, the Wang family had already set up a platform, and the stage was the competition venue.

The Wang family is well prepared for this competition.

After everyone sat down, several sons who came to participate in the competition came to the field with their families, Zhao Siyan saw Gu Chenfeng at a glance, in order to facilitate the activity, they were all wearing long clothes and trousers, clean and neat, when everyone was wearing the same, the most handsome one was often the most eye-catching.

Zhao Qingru couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect Wen Yu to dress up like this!" ”

The eldest lady said helplessly: "I didn't want him to end, but he didn't listen, saying that if he didn't participate, it would make people think that our Zhao family had no one, so how could we win glory for the Zhao family!" ”

Zhao Qingru's expression was not very good at that time, the eldest lady was showing off that she had a good son who could stand out for the Zhao family, but she only had one daughter.

Zhao Qingru only turned his head away and stopped talking.

Liu's business, as always, is not about herself, as if she didn't hear the wit of the two, she has children and daughters, and she doesn't need to mix with these.

This time Zhao Qingru was willing to go out, most of it was also for Chen Wanying, last time, Chen Wanying lost face, Chen Wanying needed a chance to return to the public eye, for the sake of her daughter, Zhao Qingru had to participate.

Chen Wanying smiled softly when she heard this: "Mother, I want to add more color to my eldest cousin at that time, and encourage my cousin." ”

Zhao Qingru said with a smile: "Not only your eldest cousin, but also your cousin Chenfeng," after a pause, she looked at the eldest lady, "Sister-in-law, Chenfeng is also fighting for our Zhao family this time, Wen Yu has you to add color, I will give Chenfeng!" ”

The eldest lady glanced at her with a smile: "It's still the third sister who thinks thoughtfully." ”

This is almost naked to please Gu Chenfeng, and she is also worried that the eldest lady will steal her limelight.

Zhao Siyan understood as soon as she heard it, it was estimated that it was before, Chen Wanying's reputation was damaged, and she finally died of her heart for Li Junze, so she was optimistic about Gu Chenfeng again, which is simply ......

Zhao Siyan didn't know what to say, probably Chen Wanying thought that Gu Chenfeng and Li Junze were both cabbages to be chosen, so let their mother and daughter choose.

Soon, it will be time to add color to the head, this time all the color head will buy winter clothes for the soldiers at the border gate, so the color head is very large, because it is a good deed, so it is not gambling.

As the host this time, the Wang family gave the most, a full 10,000 taels of silver, and even Zhao Siyan couldn't help but be a little surprised when this figure came out.

In terms of the Wang family's background, this 10,000 taels is really a lot, and it is estimated that all the property of the Wang family is not too much, but Zhao Siyan looked at the wife with a calm expression, her eyes flashed, and she estimated that the eldest wife did not subsidize her mother's family.

Then there is the Zhao family, the Zhao family, as the maiden family of the Wang family, must also give the Wang family face, the eldest wife added three thousand taels to Zhao Wenyu, the reason why it is three thousand taels is because there are also Zhao Qingru and Liu's, Zhao Qingru added another three thousand taels to Gu Chenfeng, the Liu family is not short of money, but it is not good to cross the two, so she added two thousand taels to Zhao Wenyu and Gu Chenfeng each, which adds up to just ten thousand taels.

didn't go over the Wang family, but because it was three rooms, a total of 10,000 taels were given, which is reasonable.

Then there is the He family, this time the He family came from a concubine, Mrs. He gave five thousand taels, and the interesting thing is that He Bingyan alone gave Gu Chenfeng an extra thousand taels.

He Bingyan started this, and the ladies of other families also added color to the investment, and the people of Dengzhou were open-minded, but they didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it can't be said that these people are all interested in Gu Chenfeng, just to add some fun.

Zhao Siyan glanced at He Bingyan meaningfully, He Bingyan saw her gaze and smiled sweetly at her.

Zhao Siyan shook his head, feeling a little sympathetic to Gu Chenfeng in his heart, these ladies couldn't beat Li Junze's idea, so they set their eyes on Gu Chenfeng, in fact, they were Li Junze's replacement.

He Bingyan will have such a move, but it is only because He Qingshan's situation in the army is worrying now, and now the He family urgently needs to find an alliance, and Gu Chenfeng's family background and talent are undoubtedly the best candidates.

Zhao Siyan felt aggrieved for Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng kept looking in the direction of the stage, he liked such a crowded occasion, because in this way, even if he was looking at her, no one would find out.

However, one day, one day, he could look at her brightly and stand beside her.

There will come a time.

Gu Chenfeng secretly told himself in his heart.

The game started soon, the competition was quite intense, Gu Chenfeng was the one who was the most in the limelight, even Zhao Siyan didn't expect that Gu Chenfeng, who looked like a weak scholar, was actually very good, and I don't know if it was because he was worried about his identity and let him take the first place for a while.

Suddenly, a sharp figure broke out, blocking Gu Chenfeng's attack, and neatly snatched the ball from Gu Chenfeng's men.

It was a somewhat thin teenager, but he moved extremely fast.

"Who is this?" Zhao Siyin couldn't help asking.

actually didn't give the Gu family's eldest young master face at all.

When He Bingyan heard this, he thought about it, and suddenly remembered something: "Could it be the Mu family?" I saw it just now, it seems to be someone from the Mu family. ”

The Mu family?

Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Mrs. Wang, even the eldest lady was surprised.

There are not many big families in Dengzhou, the Mu family is definitely the most special one, for no other reason, the Mu family is specialized in raising horses and training horses for a living, it can be said that the horses used by the Dengzhou army today almost have to be trained by the Mu family, so you know the status of the Mu family.

The status of the Mu family is naturally very transcendent, no matter who the chief general of the Dengzhou army is, and no matter who the Taishou of Dengzhou is, without exception, they all treat the Mu family with courtesy.

However, the Mu family has always been very low-key, except for taming horses, they rarely have contact with people on weekdays, and this time Mrs. Wang was able to invite the Mu family, no wonder everyone was so surprised.
